It’s day 2 of the Holiday cookie cleanse. This one is double trouble… I guarantee you’ve never eaten a cookie this fudgy and full of chocolate. It’ll be hard to stop yourself from eating every last one.
I don’t think I quite mastered the cookie until now. This recipe is the perfect combination of soft, fudgy (but not under-cooked) and sweet. You would never guess they were refined sugar-free and butter-free. No one will ever know.
I seriously can’t wait for Christmas. I have my mason jar baking mixes ready to go and everything. If you haven’t gotten gifts yet, they really do make the perfect last-minute gift for anyone from grandparents to grand kids. I mean, who doesn’t love baking?
These cookies are:
Super fudgy
Decadent
Chocolatey
Sweet
Easy to share
Perfect for the Holidays
