I love to bake, but I’m a little bit excited to return to an every-other-week schedule for Baked Sunday Mornings. All of my other baking books have been sorely neglected for the past few months. Right now I’m dreaming of making kougin amann, although I’ve gotten a taste of it twice this week thanks to Emma and her delicious recipe testing.

So, these cookies. There’s some cream cheese in the batter, which adds richness and makes them soft and tender. There’s a triple hit of chocolate – cocoa powder, melted chocolate, and chocolate chips. And they’re like little clouds of chocolatey heaven when eaten just out of the oven.

I love chocolate cookies. And I love these cookies. Even better – they’re pretty easy to make. They definitely benefit from some time in the refrigerator before they’re baked off, but other than that they took very little time to make.
