CONFESSION: I have an obsession with dark chocolate. I just love the bitterness with the powerful chocolate flavor coating my tongue. I just can't get enough of it! Every weekend I watch my nephew, and he is the pickiest eater I've ever met. The only foods that I know he never refuses are desserts. After convincing him to finish a bowl of fried rice... plain fried rice with eggs only (can't forget the soy sauce now). I told him he could help me bake some cookies! The recipe was originally adapted from All Recipes: The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies . I just tweaked it slightly by adding the dark choc.Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies
