Soft + Crinkly Dark Chocolate Pillow Cookies

So I thought I’d do everything I could to make sure that you’ll be starting off your week the right way. You know what that means........ chocolate!

Do you guys think it’s possible that all the technology in the world is overstimulating to our brains. I’m feeling like it is right now. Currently I’m juggling between texting some people on my food-covered phone, using my tab for some social media stuff that requires a mobile device, and typing this post on my laptop.

Oh, and on top of that I’m surrounded by my sea of lists and notes that I’ve been making to try to find better ways to keep up with it all and not feel so scattered. I really need to simplify things I guess.

Okay, but in speaking of simplifying, I was in the mood the other day to make something a little less rich and very basic. Sometimes those are my favorite recipes and I’d say time has proven that the simple and easy recipes are always the ones we go back to over and over again.

One of my brothers said that they tasted just like these cake doughnuts he remembered from when he was younger and then my mom said they were one of her new favorite cookies to have around. Yeah, I’m definitely counting these as a winning recipe.

They’re not too sweet or overpowering, just perfectly balanced and soft. Also, if you want you could even add some bitter-sweet chocolate chips to give them that extra yum factor we all love, MMmm! I love how they look all crinkly and each one comes out so unique. These are great for any occasion and definitely a classic I think you’ll be happy to have in your family’s cookie recipe collection.

XOXO
