Choc Fudge Cookies

These are just like a brownie, but in cookie form! They are so chewy and fudgey, you must try them!

I love the way these cookies look once they are baked, the crinkled look from the icing sugar makes them look so good!

They taste just as good too, when you bite into them, it is like biting into a fudgey brownie.

A key tip with these is so to ensure you refrigerate for at least 1 hour as this helps them stay nice & thick when you bake them!
