Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies - A Chocolate Lover's Dream!

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

These cookies need to chill for at least 2 hours before baking.

• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups (12 ounces) semi sweet chocolate chips

1. In a medium size bowl combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt and set aside.
2. In a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter until creamy, about 2 minutes.
3. Add sugars gradually, beating until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl once or twice.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl, and then the vanilla beating until smooth.
5. Stir in the flour mixture just until incorporated.
6. Stir in the chocolate chips.
7. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or up to 8 hours) to let the dough thoroughly chill.
8. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment or silicone liners.
9. Drop chilled dough by heaping tablespoons onto lined cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
10. Bake for about 10 minutes or until firmed up but still a bit soft in the center.
11. Cool on baking sheets 5 minutes then transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely or enjoy warm!

This recipe yields about 60 double chocolate chip cookies.
