Recipe: Chocolate-Dipped Chocolate Chip + Kaki Mochi Cookies

I bake every week, and I gave one of my kids options as to what I could possibly bake for the week, and the decision was to make Chocolate-Dipped Chocolate Chip + Kaki Mochi Cookies.  

He gave it an unsolicited rating of 8/10.  He said he would've rated it higher if the entire cookie was dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with crushed kaki mochi.

I thought it was great as it was - I love Sweet & Salty!
