A Chocolate-ing we go! Chocolate is my sanctuary, my holy place, my retreat. And would you believe it? I definitely found me some delicious ‘retreat time’ with these Ultimate Soft Chocolate Drop Cookies.

These are one of my favorite cookies over Christmas. One of my friends at work brought some of these cookies into work. They had peppermint frosting and they were such amazing chocolate flavor! After talking a bit, he told me it was his grandma’s recipe. These taste a lot like hers did, which was what I was going for, except I went for the chocolate frosting version!

These Ultimate Soft Chocolate Drop Cookies are so good and I cannot wait to make these again. Like tomorrow! 🙂

Perfect for Christmas gifting or when you’re craving chocolate!
