Loaded with bittersweet chocolate, cocoa, and chocolate chips these cookies are packed (and I mean, PACKED) with chocolate. Rich, dense and bursting with flavour… a fantastic chocolate cookie! No mixer needed!
The cookies get some cracks on top during the baking process. What I love about these cracks is that they give you a hint about all the deliciousness that’s underneath. These chocolate cookies are so dense and rich, just like a truffle. One cookie and all your chocolate cravings will be satisfied!
I really think you should just drop whatever you are doing at the moment and start making these cookies.

- 1/2 cup (114 grams) butter
- 1/2 cup (84 grams) bittersweet chocolate

- Last, fold in the chocolate chips and/or chunks.
- Refrigerate the cookie dough for 30 minutes to 1 hour. You can actually keep it refrigerated for up to 3 days, but scoop it after an hour otherwise it will harden too much.

- Using a large scoop , drop cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet.
