Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

Oh these chocolate chocolate chip cookies are incredible! I've been trying to stay away from sweets but I couldn't resist these cookies... Okay, I love freshly baked cookies but these were actually better the next day. Is it weird? The texture got a lot softer the next day. I thought that was a little strange but I enjoyed them a lot! I've been trying to eat healthier lately so I felt a little guilty about eating these but I figured you've gotta satisfy your cravings before you go and eat a gallon of icecream all by yourself. :) That is my excuse. Ahh... now I'm craving these cookies again! Uh oh! :)
