A new week & a new Cookie A Day ~ Chewy Chocolate Cookies

Chocolate and Valentine's Day go hand in hand.  My husband informed me yesterday that he has never bought me chocolates because he wants me to stick around as long as possilbe, I GUESS it's a good excuse for never having bought me chocolates.  Still I do love them and it~! And I happen to find my way to it without him.....
