I think this cookie is legendary. The first time I chomped into it, I was reminded of a similar cookie called the Chocolate Cloud, which is available at Bread & Company. What’s so spectacular about the Chocolate Bliss Cookie is the way it melts in your mouth. If a cookie is so easily consumed, does that mean it is not fattening?
A great dessert for anytime of year is the Chocolate Bliss Cookie with a scoop of coffee ice cream (preferably Blue Bell from Texas) and a drizzle of homemade or store bought fudge syrup. Seriously, this is an effortless dessert, especially since the cookies can be frozen.

Another wonderful recipe. I wonder if you could send me the French Toast recipe. I printed it and someone borrowed it and I haven’t seen it since. I want to make both of these wonderful treats!
I hate recipes that don’t give you an estimated baking time, I probably won’t give this a try. What a waste of effort if I misjudge the “shiny” part.
All ovens are different. Sorry this recipe filled you with “hate”.
There is a 12 minutes cook time at the top of the recipe, btw. Thanks to all of readers who emailed me this as I’m sick today and while I thought it was there, I assumed from the sheer passion against us in this comment, that it was overlooked. Happy to know it was there all along.
Oh yes- I missed the french toast recipe and would love to get that too. Planning on making these cookies today. Thanks!!
Just made these, and they are truly blissful! I followed the 12-minute cook time at the top of the recipe and it was perfect.
Great recipe! Thanks for sharing. I made these with my 5 year old today and it could not have been easier. The instructions were great. The only thing I changed is that I used parchment lined baking sheets instead of greased ones (the lazy factor kicked in!).
A friend originally from Baton Rouge and now living in Nashville sent me your recipe for Choc. Bliss Cookies saying they were the best!I write a weekly column in The Advocate newspaper in Baton Rogue. Would you allow me to publish it in my column, giving you credit.
I assume you use the bars -Do you think the Ghiradelli chips would also work? Was this one of your own recipes or do you know where it was from?
Your website is beautiful -so many unique and pretty things!!
Corinne,
Elizabeth will reply to you in the morning. Aren’t they fabulous? Glad you enjoyed them so much!

Sorry for the duplicate…will wait to hear from Elizabeth. I had not looked at the notes published.
I don’t remember if I sent this request to you or not..A friend, origianlly from Baton Rouge, and now living in Nashville, sent me your Choc. Bliss Cookie recipe from your blog. I’m a food writer in The Advocate newspaper in Baton Rouge and with your permission, would like to share it with my readers, with credit to your website..Do you use Ghiradelli candy bars or the Ghiradelli chocolate chips when you make it? Do you remember where you got the recipe? I write a small lead telling about the cookie or person who sent it to me, etc.
thanks,
corinne cook
You did not specify if the sugar is firmly packed or not. I read some other recipes for Chocolate Bliss Cookies that call for 3/4 cup firmly packed sugar and this recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups brown sugar. Thanks for any help you can give. I am anxious to try this recipe, sounds delicious.
