Recipe: Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Here's a yummy chocolate chip cookie with an emphasis on the chocolate!

1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups chocolate chips


Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt - and then set aside for a few minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy.

Next, you'll want to slowly add the flour mixture into the butter mixture until well blended. Follow this by mixing in the chocolate chips.

Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. (I repeat UNGREASED cookie sheets. If you are doing multiple batches of cookies, wait for the sheets to cool and then wash them quickly between baking batches. When that butter starts to melt as it's baking, it greases the sheets - even if your cookie sheet looks alright, it's best to go ahead and clean them between batches. I know, it's an extra step and a pain, but I ruined the next batch because I was trying to hurry and get them in the oven!)

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool slightly on the cookie sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
