I forgot how weird it is when the days start staying light so late. Where we live is pretty far North so the sun doesn’t set right now until nearly 9 pm and it’s not completely dark until about 10 pm. It’s kind of bitter-sweet to me because I’m not a night owl, but I to enjoy a tiny bit of nighttime. As it is the days are nearly long enough that I have to wait up to go to bed. Honestly, I’m sometimes an old lady when it comes to bedtime. I really love how I feel when I’m on an earlier schedule and it’s something I’ve never had to try to do. I just naturally wake up with the sun. Most of my family are night owls and it’s always been hard for me to understand how anyone can sleep in as late as some of them do. Hey, but to each their own. Another thing I can’t understand is how some people don’t like dark chocolate. I mean, that’s just messed up. These cookies are a celebration of dark chocolatey goodness and they’re really pretty easy to make. Are they healthy? Haha, nope. On the other hand, they could be a lot worse. I was pretty happy with how they turned out and even happier when one of my sisters fell in love with them. Mostly that was because this particular sister is pretty hard to please with things like this, so I’d say they’re a major win. This recipe is basically the double chocolate version of these chocolate chip cookies I made a while back so if you happen to have tried those you might also like these. Before I go, a quick note on the ingredients for anyone who cares. I used this gluten free flour mix for the main flour along with the almond flour. As for the butter, this was my first time ever trying earth balance brand butter. I figured it was time for me to test it out since I’ve been doing this for a while and I’ve never used vegan butter. I don’t think it’s something I’d use very often, but for special occasions or family events it worked very well. Time for a bake break to make these chewy, chocolatey treats that your friends and fam are gonna love!
