    These cookies are IT! They're filled with an entire box of chocolates which means they're gooey, chocolatey, and delicious.

    This recipe works well around Valentine's Day when there are lots of options for boxes of chocolates; however, chocolate box cookies are delicious any time of the year. Especially when you can get a good deal on chocolates right after valentine's day!

    This recipe was inspired by my three-ingredient chocolate bark, and pairs well with a nice glass of milk!

    Let the cookies chill in the fridge for 15 minutes before baking.

    Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown.

    Hint: Use an ice cream scoop to get evenly-sized cookies. Get the one I use HERE.

    Substitutions

    • Chocolate box - instead of chocolates from a chocolate box, you can use chocolate chips.

    Variations

    • Nuts - you can add walnuts or pecans to the dough for more crunch.
    Why do gluten-free cookies fall apart?

    Sometimes this can happen because the dough is not as thick. Try adding another tablespoon of gluten-free flour to the dough.

    How do I know when these cookies are done?

    You'll know that these cookies are done when the edges are brownies and crinkly.

    How should I store chocolate cookies?

    Store in an airtight container for up to seven days. You can freeze the cookies for up to three months. Make sure to wrap each cookie individually in plastic wrap and store it in a freezer-safe ziplock bag.

    Equipment

    • A baking sheet - Find the one I use HERE.
    • Precut parchment paper - a total game-changer. Find the ones I use HERE.
    • A cookie scoop - it's so much easier to use this to make cookies! Find mine HERE.
    • A stand mixer - a standby for all cookie recipes. Find mine HERE.
