Chocolate Cookies - Fannie Farmer image

Many years ago this recipe was given to me as a recipe that was one of (or like)Fannie Farmer's chocolate cookies. My recent research shows that Fannie Farmer lived and published a cookbook in the late 1800's. I have never seen one of her cookbooks though her recipes remain popular.

These cookies are easy to make and they always turn out great. I love that I can use different chocolate chips to change up the flavor.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate cookies, but these were really good. They're not too sweet and they have a great texture.
