Chocolate and Buckwheat Cookies

It seems like I have a back log of yummy recipes waiting to be posted, so stay tuned for a lot of recipes over the next week or two. I went in search of a way to use buckwheat flour and came accross these cookies. They're a nice change from a regular chocolate chip cookie. If you don't like the flavour of buckwheat, these won't be for you! It's prominent.
