Cookies are a universal treat.And cookies with a chewy texture are the ones that we love over here.Add chocolate to that and its some serious pleasure.

The cookies I’ve got for you today are the easiest cookies you’ll ever bake.All you need is some really good Cocoa and I’ve used Cadbury’s Bournville Cocoa that I bought from Cadbury World in the UK during our last visit and I have to tell you that the aroma and the flavor is just phenomenal.

The cookies are sweet, sightly chewy, slightly crispy around the edges with a rich chocolate flavor coming through.They are so sinfully good.I must advice you to make a big batch since they will disappear in no time!These are also great as homemade Holiday gifts for your loved ones.Enjoy!

Find the original recipe over here.I have omitted the nuts and granulated sugar and halved the recipe.Makes about 25-30 cookies.
