Who doesn't like chocolate cookies? Even though Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite, alot of times I don't have the dry chocolate to make chocolate cookies.
The cookies below are made with Hershey's Cocoa, or Hershey's syrup. You can easily make chocolate cut out cookies for the holidays too. Also see the Chocolate cookie Teddy Bear Ornaments.
