Chocolate Cookies

Ok first things first…

OH MY GOODNESS I'VE REACHED 100 FOLLOWERS!!!

What? It seems like just yesterday, I was blogging with bad pictures and 17 followers. 

Thank you to everyone for following and all the encouragement I get from you! 

I'm so thankful for my blog and the amazing people I've met through it ,with passions for

food just as big as mine. 

So as a little thank you, I made you some chocolate cookies.

Here you go. Take a bite into that chocolatey, cakey, fudgey, amazingness.

ORRRRRRRR… You might just have to make them yourselves.

Because one- you can't eat your computer screen. And two- I'm halfway

around the world from most of you {if you're "new here" click to find out why!}

so I can't mail them to you. Oh gosh, I wish I could. 

I made these this afternoon and I planned on setting them in the fridge 

while my mommy and I went out to coffee to have some girl time and do a 

new bible study we hope to do regularly. BUTTTTTT we got stranded at the

coffee shop {long story} so they were in there for more than planned.

The dough. OOOOOH the dough. It's like fudge. I was literally

almost considering not making it into cookies and popping it in a bar pan.

For reals. It's just that great! I swear, half of the stuff went in me before

it made it to the oven. (;
