The Freshman Cook: Dad's Triple Chocolate Cookies

With Father’s Day coming up, I find myself in my yearly “what to buy my dad” dilemma. Over the years, I have gotten him just about everything he could use or want, and some things he didn’t!! I get frustrated buying him things that, a few months later, I find in the closet, unused and unopened! As I thought about what do to this year, and trying to find something unique and special for only him, I decided to bake him some cookies! He is a huge chocolate lover, and he loves when I bake for him! So what in the world took me so long to decide this is the gift for him? I don’t know. Sometimes I tend to overthink these things when really, I need to remember that often “simpler is better”. I know he will love Dad’s Triple Chocolate Cookies,(and so will you) and my “what to buy dad” dilemma is solved!
