Sometimes, a late night snack can seriously, honestly, make you feel better. Crummy day? Make the crumminess worth it and create your own cookie crumbs...from double chocolate chip cookies!
To be honest, these decadent treats were going to be a Monday night snack from Brian and me. But then some not-so-good news came around and I didn't want to finish the cookies (which really meant baking them, since the dough was already done). The dough got popped in the fridge...until Tuesday night, when cookies were needed as a last-minute pick-me-up for Brian and myself. Who cares if it was 10pm?! Chocolate makes people happy (us included!).
Did the chocolate make us happy? Well, it lifted our spirits for the short term and left us feeling comforted. That's important sometimes, and I encourage you to find your own 'feel-better' dessert treat to have on hand for not-so-fun occasions.
Quick, simple, delicious cookies. Mission accomplished!
