Raspberry Fudge Cookies |
It has been a couple of months since then and I have finally gotten around to trying out my dark chocolate version of the original recipe. I had a feeling they would be good, but I had NO IDEA how good. They are certainly not the most healthy dessert I have featured on here, but to their credit, they are made entirely out of whole wheat flour, have high fiber and antioxidant rich raspberries in them, and I replaced some of the butter with coconut oil. They also have dark cocoa and ground flax seed, so while not being a "health food", they are definitely a lot better for you than you would ever think after tasting them. They are rich, fudgy, chewy, decadent and addictive (be careful!). I will definitely be making these again soon! Enjoy!!!

Remove the cookie dough from the fridge and form into large, 2-3 tablespoon
