Ooey Gooey Cookies!

I baked these cookies the other night.  I found the recipe online, Jane's Garden blog, and decided to change it up.  I made chocolate cookies per the recipe which are fantastic and I made carrot cake cookies with cream cheese frosting, these are to die for!  Baking and cooking is fun, its more fun to change things up and make recipes your own.

Chocolate cookies with powdered sugar!
