Samantha Nicole Mama’s Chocolate Cookies know where the rich flavors are: baked right into each tasty treat! Each bite of these cookies has a slightly smoky sweetness baked into the dough thanks to the brown sugar, and a crunchy sugar coating makes the experience even better. Of course, the real story is the floral, enticing chocolate flavor, created by infusing melted chocolate directly into the dough. Nothing beats Mama’s Chocolate Cookies when you’re craving something sweet!
