No wonder there is no photo. These are about the ugliest cookies ever, dark to the point of looking burned and very thin, but are their looks ever deceiving! What fabulous chocolatey taste, chewy texture.

Soooo yummy! It was hard to bake them and not just eat all the batter! I've been looking for a good chocolate cookie recipe that's soft and chewy - this definitely fit the bill. I will be making this MANY more times!
