pieces
4 lg Egg yolks
One fourth cup Heavy cream
8 lg Egg whites
3 Deep Dark Chocolate Fudge
Cookies; chopped into
1/2inch pieces
One half cup Semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees .

Lightly coat the inside of each souffle cup with the butter. Sprinkle the
inside of each cup with 1 One half teaspoons granulated sugar. Set aside until

fold about One fourth of the whipped egg whites into the melted chocolate mixture,
then fold in the remaining egg whites. Evenly divide the souffle mixture
into the prepared souffle cups (about 4 heaping tablespoons), filling them
to 1/2inch below the rim of the cup. Evenly divide and sprinkle the cookie
pieces and chocolate chips over the tops of the souffle mixture.

Place the souffles on the center shelf of the preheated oven. Bake until a
toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 22 to 26 minutes.
