These domino cookies are a lot like the double chocolate cookies at Great American Cookie Company! They’re so easy to make and absolutely delicious.
Domino cookies are such a delicious cookie treat. They’re thin with almost a brownie taste to them. This recipe for domino cookies is very similar to the cookies at Great American Cookies. Since they don’t use any eggs they are the perfect cookie to make when you want something sweet but are out of eggs.
I’ve had this recipe in my recipe binder for over 15 years now! This makes me feel so old to admit but it’s been a go-to recipe for many years. I once worked at a company where we frequently brought in treats for each other. Even though I held this job over ten years ago, I still remember my coworkers asking me for some domino cookies. It’s always a good feeling when you have a special recipe that others enjoy.

Maybe I’m just reading it wrong but when do I add the cocoa powder to the batter?

You can add it in with the flour.

These are so good! For my own mix to them, I added dark chocolate chips because my husband is a dark chocolate fiend.
