These are cookies which I can claim very little—if any—credit for, since it's basically derived from Nigella Lawson's
Totally Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies with just a few tweaks for my preferences (most notably using dark brown sugar & extra egg for the added fudginess & chewiness factor, and a splash more vanilla to balance out chocolate's intensity). But they are everything as Nigella promises and are, per her words, "the chocolatiest cookies you will ever come across."
And they are absolutely amazing a few minutes out of the oven, with the cookie in that crumbly, fudgy stage and the chips still molten and gooey.
As an added bonus, these cookies freeze & rebakes easily so that, being the chocolate
fiend enthusiast that I am, I can batch freeze them and satisfy that call for cocoa any time I want afterwards.
