When I think back to the cookies of my childhood, there are
several cookies that come to mind, but there is one cookie that I had the most
fun eating while making them: chocolate chip cookies. I haven’t had chocolate
chip cookies or chocolate in a decade, so when I found Dark Chocolate Dream
100% dairy free chocolate at a local grocery store I was very excited to give
it a try. Now, it’s not top-notch gourmet chocolate (though when I took my
first bite in 10 years it might as well have been gourmet), but it’s good dark
chocolate and it works great in brownies and chocolate chunk cookies. That’s all I’ve made so far, but I look
forward to having fun with chocolate again. Just so you know, this chocolate is
completely dairy free and is made on equipment that is clean of all dairy.
YEA!!!
Making these cookies brought me back to my childhood.
Memories of making chocolate chip cookies with my mom and the gooey chocolaty
goodness of the warm, fresh from the oven chocolate chip cookies. These cookies
take a bit more work because you have to cut up the chocolate, but they are
soooo worth it!
