Chocolate lovers will got nuts for these Double Chocolate Chip Cookies!
These chewy, chocolatey cookies have crisp edges but soft middles loaded with chunks of chocolate, plus a smattering of mini chocolate chips. Double Chocolate Chip Cookies are the epitome of the perfection for me.
Almost every weekend, I do some baking for the week ahead. It’s a fun activity to do with the kids (and a great way to teach them about measuring, fractions and all kinds of other sneaky math!) I also love having a few goodies in the house to appease my sweet tooth like these Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites that made the perfect bite-size treat!
