Double-Chocolate Chews

SUPER YUMMY. SUPER CHEWY! Next time I think I am going to add some chopped walnuts instead of the last 1/4 c. of chocolate chips. Definitely keeping this recipe.

I made these because all the ingredients were in my kitchen. My family emjoyed them very much. The dough is sticky but I didn't find this to be a problem. I baked the cookies according to the appropriate time and they came out looking somewhat gooey, but they perfect and chewy and they have an almost cake-like texture.

Used this as a base recipe for chocolate mint cookies and they turned out fantastic! I lightened up the recipe by using 1/3 C pwd sugar and 1 C Splenda and Splenda Brown Sugar blend in place of the regular brown sugar. I used peppermint extract (1-1.5 tsp?) instead of vanilla, and folded in 1/2 Andes mint chips, 1/2 mini choc chips. Will definitely make again.

Wonferful and rich, these are almost like little brownies. They would be good with nuts mixed in, too. I'll being trying that in the future.
