Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
I believe firmly that chocolate should be in its own food group. It's a necessary nutrient. And some days, we just must have it and a lot of it. For those days, Double Chocolate Chip Cookies is what I make to satisfy all my chocolate cravings. My kids say they're better than any store-bought chocolate chocolate chip cookie.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 375F. Get two baking sheets ready by lining them with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into a bowl.
- Cream the butter and sugars. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla. Continue beating until they're well incorporated, making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl.
- Combine wet and dry. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients on low speed, just until blended. Then, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Shape the cookies. Scoop the dough into 1½ tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Look for firm edges and a dry-looking center. After baking, let them cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
