Baking with B: Double Trouble Chocolate Chip Cookies

Remember how Lucy’s cake was “chocolate chocolate”? Well, these cookies are like her cake’s little brothers- all cakey, and gooey and sprinkled throughout with melt-in-your-mouth-chocolatey-chip-goodness.

Why are they double the trouble, you ask? Because they disappear from your kitchen in double the amount of time of any cookie I have ever made, ever. That’s why after I popped them out of the oven, I grabbed a stack of cookies and a glass of milk and high-tailed it out of there. They may not even make it off of the cooling rack. Seriously. I barely had time to take this picture.

1 c. butter

¾ c. brown sugar

¾ c. granulated sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

2 ¼ c. all-purpose flour

1/3 c. cocoa

1 tsp. baking soda

2 c. chocolate chips

In large bowl, cream butter with both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla. In smaller bowl, sift flour with cocoa and baking soda. Stir together well. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture until blended. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop batter by teaspoons onto greased and lightly floured or parchment paper-lined cookie sheets. Bake in preheated 375 oven 8-10 minutes. Cool on racks.

Happy baking!
