I know, we all watch what we eat and always strive for the healthiest meals. But what is life without a little sinful dessert?! You don't have to eat them often, but once in a while why not be bad? So bad, yet so good. These ooey-oogey chewy cookies are what you need to hit the spot! Am I tempting you yet? >:)
Now, I can keep on describing how good these cookies really are, but you will never know what heaven tastes like until you take a bite out of one of these yourself!
Well here you go. . . I have finally decided to share this recipe with all of you!
