Little Chocolate Cookies

Kristen requested this recipe to pacify her sweet tooth. I hope that Kristen shares these cookies with her chocolate lover friends…it’d be a shame to hide them!

I hope you enjoy them Kristen!

Your Ingredients: (makes about 4 dozen little cookies)

2 sticks butter, room temperature
1-cup granulated sugar
1/2-cup golden brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
2-tsp pure vanilla extract
2-cups all-purpose flour
2/3-cup good quality cocoa
1-tsp baking powder
1-tsp baking soda
1/2-tsp salt
12-ounce package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1-cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks

PREHEAT oven to 350ºF.

IN the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy.

IN another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to blend well.

ADD the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until well blended.

REMOVE from mixer and stir in chocolate chips and chunks.

FORM cookie dough into walnut-sized balls and arrange balls on ungreased cookie sheets about 2-inches apart.

PLACE the filled cookie sheets, one at a time, into the preheated oven on the center rack.

BAKE cookies for 8-10 minutes. (if you’d like a softer cookie, bake for around 7-8 minutes)

REMOVE from the oven and allow cookies to set for a couple of minutes and then transfer to a cookie cooling rack to cool completely.

Always Enjoy!
