Make these ooey-gooey delights, full of rich chocolate goodness, in under 30 minutes from scratch! Get the kids involved and enjoy baking these simple, yet delicious cookies with a whopping 3 1/2 dozen cookie yield. Great for a class treat or party dessert, the tender crumb of these cookies is wonderful warm or room temperature, thanks to the apple sauce and sour cream in the dough. Dutch process cocoa is used to add the extra deep chocolate flavor. Find it in the baking isle of most supermarkets. Keep in an airtight container for an after dinner treat or dunk in a cold glass of milk for a wonderful afternoon snack.
