Chocolate chocolate Chip Cookies

It's the normal cookie recipe...you know....

cream the butter and sugars...

add the eggs

get it smooth

I think light and fluffy is usually in the instructions somewhere? :)

and then all the dry stuff is added last - 

in fact, this is just the normal cookie recipe off of a package - just with 1/3 cup cocoa added to make it extra chocolately...mmmm....

and I use my mixer to stir in the chocolate chips

(which are sometimes white chocolate chips)

I usually use a normal little cookie scoop, but today I wanted big cookies so I used my mini muffin scoop (which funny enough doesn't work so well for mini muffin cups, but has come in handy for lots of other things).

Chocolate Chip Cookies 

(Nestlé Toll House, adapted)
1 cup unsalted butter, softened (That's 2 sticks)
¾ cup sugar
¾ cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

1/3 cup cocoa

1 pkg (12 oz) semi sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375°. 

In large mixing bowl, combine butter, sugars, and vanilla. Beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs. 

(You're SUPPOSED TO: In a small mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt.)

But I just add all that to the mixer on top of the rest and turn it back on.

Beat at low speed until soft dough forms. Stir in chocolate chips.

Drop by heaping teaspoons 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. Cool completely before storing.

For inside out cookies, use white chocolate chips.

Everything's better with ice cream, right? :)
