I call these the Almost Famous Amos cookies. This recipe was taken from a FB group, but I can't remember the person who posted this recipe as I only took a screenshot of the recipe on my phone. I find it not that Famous Amos yet (so rename as almost!) but it is still a hit for the kids. Sharing the recipe here as I got a small discovery later on.

The new discovery is this Very Chocolate Cookies which I bake for my charity bake sale. While searching for chocolate cookies, I found this Nigella's Totally Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies. When copying down the recipe, I find it very very familiar. Then I realize it is actually similar to the "Almost Famous Amos Cookies" above! The main differences are that the chocolate is melted instead of chopped and part of the flour is substituted with cocoa powder. Thus, I combined the 2 recipes and tada... the Very Chocolate Cookies (my version) turn out much better than the almost famous amos. At least I prefer this as it is more crunchy and chocolatey.
