These cookies are perfect for Halloween parties this time of year. And when I say “overlaod”, I mean they are overloaded with chocolate chips! Milk chocolate, semi sweet chocolate, bittersweet chocolate, white chocolate…it’s all in there. And I’m not done yet….there’s also Heath Bar crunch and pecans.
As overloaded as these cookies seem, they don’t taste extremely overloaded with chocolate. They are extremely sweet as Chocolate Chip cookies would be, and for me they were really sweet, as I haven’t been eating much sugar lately. It’s amazing when you don’t have something for a while, how intensified the taste is when you do!
These cookies keep well in a airtight container. And, you can even freeze the cookies! Just scoop onto a cookie sheet lined with non stick aluminum foil, freeze on the cookie sheets, and then once frozen, remove and fill a zip top plastic bag to store in the freezer. That way, you can take out only what you want to bake!
None the less, it’s a sure bet that every kid would love these delicious cookies at their Halloween party!
Happy Halloween everyone!
