Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

While we’re on the subject of chocolate – one of our favorite topics – here’s another recipe for fellow chocoholics. If you liked the one for Best Ever Fudge Brownies, try this one too. And, here’s a plus, it uses many of the same ingredients.
What’s needed . . .

Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

• 1 C butter softened
• 2 C sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• ¾ C powdered cocoa (Hershey’s® Cocoa is my choice)
• 2C flour
• ½ bag (6 oz) of Hershey’s® dark chocolate morsels (or 5 oz chopped, unsweetened baker’s chocolate; other substitutions are peanut butter or white chocolate morsels)

Preheat oven to 350°.

1. Using a mixer, cream butter, eggs, vanilla until soft. Scrape down bowl.
2. Add baking soda, salt and cocoa. Scrape again. Gradually add flour. Add chocolate morsels last.
3. Drop teaspoon-sized drops onto un-greased cooking sheet.
4. Bake 8-9 minutes.
5. Cool 2 minutes before transferring to rack or brown paper.
