I’m going to be honest with you, February 2017 is not going to be my favorite month. It’s going to be packed with stress, waiting to know the unknown. In a nutshell, it’s going to be the month that will reveal the fate of a particular part of my family life.
And I’m ready for it. Whatever happens, whether it’s the fate that I’ve been longing for, or the complete opposite, we are ready for it. But I have hope, because I know that when you have hope, good will find you – one way or another.
Having hope doesn’t mean that I’m calm. No, I’m not calm, there is a tornado in my stomach every.single.minute. I think many of you have been through such conditions and if you have, let me know how you went through it. Me? I try to bake as much as possible because it’s just therapy.
The smell of cookies makes me so calm and peaceful, it takes me out of this world and places me somewhere very, very happy. Now that I’m passing these “not so very easy” days, I know I need to bake a batch of these chewy double chocolate cookies as soon as I’m done writing this post.
I made these chewy double chocolate cookies a very long time ago but never came around to publish the recipe here on the blog. Today, when I was browsing my recipes and “making” myself work, I came across these delicious cookies and it just hit me.
You need these cookies, too, as much as I do. Because they are crispy around the edges, and chewy on the inside, with melting chocolate chunks. I’m going to make them as big as I did last time, but they can also be made in smaller sizes, of course.
