Death By Chocolate Cookies
If, when the day comes, I get to choose how I’m going to die it’s gonna be death by chocolate. I can even imagine it: I’d be visiting a chocolate manufacturing plant somewhere and the tour would take us through the huge vats of chocolate room. We’d be moving along a walkway above one of those giant vats of swirling chocolate (imagine Willy Wonka’s factory here) when suddenly, I’d ‘somehow’ fall in. “Don’t worry ma’am, help is on the way!” And as I’m swimming my way through this river of chocolate bliss, I’d look ’em straight in the eye, gulp down my first mouthful and say, “Don’t worry, I’ve got this.” Death by chocolate…what a way to go!
What You Need To Make Death By Chocolate Cookies:
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

How To Make Death By Chocolate Cookies:
Preheat oven to 325F.
Place flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda in a bowl, stir to combine and set aside.
Whip the butter and sugars until light and airy. Slowly incorporate the eggs (one at a time), vanilla, and optional teaspoon of molasses.
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet batter slowly, and then stir in your desired amount of chocolate chips.

Hi Jamie, I wanted to make and serve these on the 8th at a meeting for people on both sides of the isle, and know, chocolate will bring them together…no matter what! So, please tell me, since it is optional, what the molasses will/will not do for the cookies. I don’t mind using it, …just want to know. Thank you
