Chocolate Chunkers! TWD

Oh my were these so delicious! We all absolutely loved these chunky cookies. Though we did make a few changes; instead of the raisins, and nuts, we put in chopped chocolate covered coffee beans, and we also added 1T. instant espresso!

We will definitely be making these again!

Be sure to tune in next week for the Dimply Plum Cake

Look at all those chunky choloate pieces!
