It’s the Holiday Season, it’s Winters and it’s December – all good things together (not to miss the weddings). In this festive chocolate indulgence is to really that goodness. Relaxing in a cozy corner with a mug of chai (read your favorite hot drink) and these soft baked, moist and cookies with chocolate chunks, Chocolate Chunk Brownie Cookies – is my kind of celebrating winters.
I’m not into baking as such, but in winters you feel like having all those freshly-baked warm cakes and cookies, and baking it yourself is the best thing to do. These Chocolate Chunk Brownie Cookies are so easy to make that it can be a fun holiday activity with your kids.
Chocolate, brownies and chocolate chunks all together in one cookie is a celebration in itself. Everyone loves brownies and when it’s equally good in a cookie form, it’s a marriage made in heaven. And that crackled top is a vision in itself and the way your entire home fills with bakelicious-chocolatey aroma, it’s heavenly!
These are the yummiest, cookies you’ll ever have. I made a batch for my work friends and they all loved it so much that these were gone in no time at all. So bring on those aprons and get baking.
