Hello, I’m Roxana, the baker, writer and photographer behind A little bit of everything / Roxana’s Home Baking. I have a passion for baking, especially bread and chocolate goodies. I have a two-year old who keeps me going all day long, and to everyone’s surprise she doesn’t eat chocolate.

Almost all the recipes on my blog require a preheated oven and lately I’ve been experimenting with vegan and gluten-free baking. So far I can’t complain, but from time to time you’ll see me whipping up pounds of butter and dozen of eggs in my goodies.
I’m so honored to be here today. When Hani asked me to write a guest post for her I did a happy dance. She’s an amazing baker, has lots tons of patience to decorate the most beautiful cookies and she’s one of the sweetest food bloggers I know. I didn’t want to step out of Hani’s blog theme and although I have two left hands when it comes to decorating cookies, I brought you some triple chocolate cookies today.
I’m pretty sure everyone has seen “Pretty Woman” the movie, by now. I have seen it so many times I lost count. Do you remember the scene after she goes shopping and spends an obscene amount of money she returns to the boutique that the sale-woman treated her bad the day before and tells her ” You did a big mistake …. BIG …. HUGE!!

I did a  BIG, HUGE mistake as well with these cookies. And no, I’m not talking about taste. I’m talking about quantity! If only I knew how good they turned out I would have doubled, no tripled the recipe from the beginning. They are soft, fudge-y, chocolate-y with just the right amount of sweetness and addictive! It’s just like eating a brownie but in a cookie form.

Unsweetened cocoa powder, 100% unsweetened chocolate and dark chocolate chips blends so well in these bites of chocolate heaven.They are fairly easy to make, although they do require some chilling time. I haven’t tried the speedy way by putting the dough in the freezer, but I think it will work just as well as long as you keep the cookie dough just until it’s hard enough to handle.
