Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

• A friend of mine had ordered a RVC cake that day.As I was measuring the ingredients I accidentally put in the soda bicarbonate into the flour. I wasn't sure what to do next,so I put that flour mixture(which already had cocoa powder and salt in it) aside.After finishing my RVC I started thinking what should I do withe the flour.I said to myself.I've baked cakes but I've never baked cookies.So I started looking for cookies recipe which had ingredients similar to my flour mixture.And I came to find this recipe.I know it tastes real good when my eldest son compared it with a jar of chocolate chip cookies that my husband received from 1 of his students.Muaz said:
• "Ummi,your chocolate chip cookies is by far better than this one".. And that statement really made my day.Ahaks.
