Week 49 of 52

Dessert #7

    Yummy, double chocolate cookies!! I'll definitely make this recipe again.  This final dessert recipe of Fifty-two In Twenty-two comes from Best Loved Cookies, published in 2000.  In the book, this recipe is titled Hershey's "Perfectly" Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies. You can add nuts if you like. The recipe says you'll get five dozen, but I used my cookie scoop and got a little more than seven dozen. Make this recipe!

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup cocoa 

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 eggs

2 cups chocolate chips

1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions:

Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees. Mix together dry ingredients (flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt). Cream butter, sugar and brown sugar together in a separate bowl, until fluffy. Stir in vanilla, followed by the eggs, one at a time, mixing until thoroughly combined. Gradually add your dry ingredients and stir until all dry ingredients are combined. Mix in chocolate chips and nuts if using. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto un-greased baking sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool slightly before transferring from the cookie sheet to a wire rack. Serve with milk.
