Chocolate Cookies

If someone ask me what is my favorite type of dessert, I will shout "CHOCOLATE". Yes, I'm so in love with chocolate. I eat a LOT of chocolate. Any type of chocolate, from white to dark. And this time I'm trying out a chocolate cookies recipe. Super decent chocolate cookies with a tons of chocolate in one cookie, coated with layer of melted chocolate, and decorated with sprinkles.

Pardon for low quality picture. I don't have any proper camera yet.

I get this recipe from my favorite food blogger, Sweetapolita. Since I'm not using extra dark chocolate, and I'm not a fan of super sweet food, I cut of the amount of sugar by half. For the type of sugar, the original recipe are using light brown. And I do have light brown sugar on hand, but usually I'm not using brown sugar on my cookies, just because i prefer a crunchier cookies. And yes, the cookies supposed to be soft and chewy, but my taste bud are more used to not too soft kind of cookies.

The appearance of the cookies might look different from Sweetapolita's cookies. My cookies have no crack on the top just like her cookies. I guess its because I reduce the amount of sugar. Or it might because I'm not beat the egg and sugar long enough. Because in brownie case, the crunchy skin at the top is obtained by beating the eggs and sugar as long as possible. Well, I'm still not sure what I did wrong here. But actually I don't mind with my cookies that has no crunchy top, the cookies still taste so good tho. Just in case you know why my cookies turn out different, please leave some comments. I would really appreciate your comments.

 I really love how the cute cute love sprinkle brighten up the oh-so-chocolate cookies.Anyway, I bake around 18 minutes but the inside of cookies is still soft, just like brownies. The amount of sweetness just right for my taste bud. And hey guess what?! Now I love soft type of cookies! Gotta try to bake this with brown sugar and bake only for 12-15 minutes. 

Okay, enough with talking. Let's jump to my version of the recipe, so you guys can try this at home.
