15 Simple Chocolate Cookie Recipes

It’s amazing to think that not too long ago I didn’t care for chocolate. Shocking, right? Don’t get me wrong. The occasional dessert hit the spot. However, more often than not, that dessert consisted of strawberry flavored ice cream. I usually stayed far away from chocolate as my chocoholic husband enjoyed the chocolateist of chocolate treats imaginable. Then, fast forward to my pregnancy and … bam. Hello, lover (aka chocolate).

That’s right. Pregnancy did me in big time. I was incredibly cautious and careful about everything that I ate while pregnant. From fruits to veggies to a completely balanced and nutritious diet, I wanted everything that was best for the baby. But, there was something missing. And that missing item was chocolate. Oh man did I ever have a sweet tooth.

So, what did I do? I avoided it … ha! Yeah, right. Instead, I decided to treat myself every once in a while to a chocolate treat. That treat usually was a few frozen chocolate chip morsels from a bag of chocolate chips that I kept in the freezer. Best. Treat. Ever.

After I had the baby, I was hoping that I would return to my anti-chocolate ways. Well, that didn’t happen. I remain one of the biggest chocolate fans I know. To me, that is totally unbelievable … and so awesome. My husband and sister-in-law who are the two biggest chocoholics in the family have welcomed a third member into their club.
