I feel like chocolate cookies can be tricky. They can easily turn out yucky. These Mexican Chocolate Cookies are not that way. I had to use all shortening and they still turned out fantastic. I tried one to make sure they were good and to see if Claire could handle it. She had a small reaction the next day, but way better than she used to be. THAT’S PROGRESS DEARS!!!!! I am so excited. Maybe someday I’ll be able to eat full on chocolate again! WOOHOO!!!
Anyway, I really do think these are great. Wait ’til you taste that hint of cinnamon. Oh, it’s wonderful!!!
