Perfect Single Serve Double Chocolate Cookie
A rich and chewy treat that is ready in minutes whenever you need a quick chocolate fix.
recipesbynani.comThis little cookie is a favorite in my kitchen because it satisfies those late night chocolate cravings without leaving a dozen cookies sitting on the counter. It is soft, gooey, and packed with plenty of cocoa flavor.
My best advice is to use good quality chocolate chips and do not overbake it. You want the edges to be firm but the center should stay nice and soft.
