Rich Chocolate Cookie Recipe, the ultimate cookie for me I think!

Crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside, these cookies taste like a brownie but look like a cookie!

Easy enough to make with your kids and enjoy with a glass of milk during the school holidays or perfect for us big kids with a cuppa tea! What a treat!

This recipe makes approximately 30 cookies.
