Double Chocolate Cookies: Ghost of a Chance

These cookies are the most decadent chocolate cookies I've tasted yet!  Perhaps a more appropriate name would be "death by chocolate" cookies just in time for October 31!

Tomorrow is Halloween so I had to get a good "ghostly" song in here.  Check out "I Don't Stand a Ghost of a Chance" sung by Billie Holiday.
