The ultimate tried and tested chocolate cookie recipe

This is a recipe I’ve tried at home and truly enjoyed!. What’s amazing about this recipe is the way it shows you different renditions of chocolate cookies. Turns out, it all boils down to the type of sugar your choose to use. In case you’d like your cookies on the gooey goodness side, try using a mix of dark brown sugar with refined white sugar. Basically the molasses in the brown sugar is what promotes the gooey softness. in case you like your cookie crubly, use refined white sugar.
