Triple Chocolate Cookie Tart

If you are looking for a simple dessert this weekend look no further.  This Triple Chocolate Cookie Tart is not only delicious, but very simple and quick to make.    I would actually call it fabulous and a ten out of ten on the win/win/win scale!!!
 

This is one your family will absolutely adore and one that you will adore also.  Not only for the deliciousness of it, but for the ease of baking and clean up as well.   Lazy me.  I like lazy cooking and easy clean up.  Suits me to a "T".  I had enough of that faffing about when I worked at the Manor.  Now, in my retirement, I like ease.



This tart is like a HUGE chocolate chip cookie.  It's crisp on the outside . . .  but fudgy in the centre  . . .  and stogged to the hilt with not one . . .  not two  . . .  but THREE kinds of chocolate!

 

You could use chocolate chips, but I like to use real bars of chocolate and cut it into chunks.   I used dark,  milk and white.  G O R G E O U S



I cut myself a tiny sliver  . . .  and then a few minutes later I was cutting myself another sliver.   I quickly had to hand it off to someone else to keep safe because I was sorely tempted to eat the whole thing!  Oh what a horrible thing that would be!



This would be absolutely divine topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.  Just sayin . . .
(I had some two tone chocolate chips which needed finishing up, just a handful.  I chose to sprinkle them on top, but you can use a mix of dark and white, milk and white, or whatever you wish.)
