HERSHEY'S Perfect Special Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies

Last week I saw some dark chocolate chocolate chips on sale, so I bought two bags. Sunday seems to be a good day to get baking done, so I decided to try the cookie recipe on the back of the bag. It took very little time to make these cookies, especially since I was only making one recipe which I usually don't do. Still, one recipe was more than enough cookies for me, even with freezing most of them. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten used to my oven quite yet, and one of the trays of cookies burned a little, but the rest were OK. The recipe was pretty good and the cookies made for a great afternoon snack!
