Double Chocolate Cookies
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 10 mins
Total time: 20 mins
Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter (2 sticks, room temperature)
  • 1¼ cups white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¾ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chopped up chocolate bar)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350° F (175° C). In a mixing bowl, beat room temperature butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until creamed together. In a separate bowl, mix flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt with a fork.
  2. Add flour/cocoa/baking soda/salt mixture a little at a time into butter/sugar/eggs/vanilla mixture by beating at low speed until well blended.
  3. Mix in chocolate chips/pieces by hand without over-beating the batter. If oven is still preheating, let chill in refrigerator for a few minutes (I find this helps the cookies keep their shape).
  4. Using a teaspoon, drop batter onto cookie sheets, leaving an inch around each cookie drop. Place into oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. Do not over-bake or cookies will be hard. Let cool 2 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Makes 4 dozen small cookies
