cocoa-chip cookies

Joelle and Brienne baked these yummy chocolate cookies recently.  As soon as I took a bite I knew we had found a new favorite.  These are a cross between a chocolate chip cookie and a warm gooey brownie. 

They are delicious!  Perfect with a glass of milk!

cocoa-chip cookies

ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (1 bag)

directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl, combine flour,  (sifted) cocoa, baking soda and salt.  Set aside. 

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and both sugars until light and creamy, for about 3 minutes.  Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Beat in the vanilla.  On low speed, gradually add the flour mixture, beating until blended.  With a wooden spoon, stir in the chocolate chips.

Drop dough by heaping tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 12 minutes or just until set.  Cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely.  Makes about 3 dozen.
