Chewy Chocolate Cookies

These chewy chocolate cookies are just that – chewy, not-too-sweet chocolate cookies. They are easy to make and they are great all on their own or as a base for additions and mix-ins.

I rolled part of this batch in granulated sugar and topped part of the batch with a chocolate. If you’d like to do the same, roll the dough in granulated sugar before baking.

Wait until after baking to add chocolates, and immediately remove the cookie from the baking sheet to help to prevent the chocolate from melting.
