Here’s a cookie that’s good for your heart and mood, thanks to the dark chocolate in which it’s dipped. Dark chocolate can raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol while lowering LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, which is important for heart disease prevention. And dark chocolate also contains the chemical serotonin, which acts as an antidepressant.
