I have been successful in finding out a recipe for D and decided on this double chocolate cookies, with double damaka of chocolate treat that I saw in Priya's space. I had couple of other choices for this, however as always I settled for a chocolate one as it's easy to expect it to disappear.

I baked it as I was making my Sunday lunch, and I was shocked to see how Peddu was leaning on the Oven door to see what was getting baked. I was very furious and told him never to do. However he wanted to know if I was baking something chocolate. The heavenly aroma that was coming out of the oven was simply too irresistible. He eve refused to have his lunch, saying he will settle for these cookies.

I told him that he will not get even a bit if the lunch was not consumed. Well that did the trick and very quickly the lunch was taken care so that this can be enjoyed. I got about 15 - 17 cookies and trust me, they were only keen on getting the numbers lower!

I strictly told them that ever was left was for next day school snack. They reluctantly agreed and I was able to save couple of them for the snack next day. I tasted a tiny bit just to know if it tasted as sinful it looked. Yes it did and surely slides on the sides as well!
