Triple Chocolate Cookies

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate; yum, yum, yum :)  Chocolate is a good start to anything, and three times the chocolate is three times as good!  These cookies have chocolate chips, chocolate syrup, and chocolate/cocoa powder.  They taste just like eating a chocolate bar but with a perfectly soft cookie texture.  These were quick to bake and quickly gone.  A sprinkle of powdered sugar was the finishing touch to make these cookies Black and White Party ready.  The triple chocolate cookies were a great compliment to our outfits and deco, and will definitely be making more party appearances...and lazy day ones too!
