There are few things more comforting then the smell of freshly baked cookies wafting through the house, and when those cookies are double chocolate it takes it to the next level. Soft, rich, gooey with a hint of salt, these are packed with deep chocolate flavor and are the perfect balance of sweet and decadent. If you are a chocolate lover, then you will absolutely love these cookies. They are super easy to make, so with just a few pantry staples you can whip up a batch whenever you need to. I like to use different sizes of chocolate chips for texture, but you can go ahead and use any kind of chocolate chips that you like. Enjoy!
