Coming to this amazing chocolate cookie recipe. I found this recipe on Anh's blog a few days back. The cookies looked so tempting and delicious that I decided to bake these cookies at that very moment. I made a few changes to make these cookies eggless. I also replaced dutch process cocoa with the normal dark cocoa powder. Inspite of all the changes, they were simply superb. The cookies had a fudgy texture and the taste of the chocolate was laced by the flavours of orange. They were absolutely irresistible and they were over within no time. Do give these cookies a try. I am sure you will fall in love with these as well :)
