A recent birthday for a friend who loves chocolate. I had made some really good chocolate cookies before but was not at home to search my files for that recipe so I went in search of a similar one.
Searching the trusty Internet, I found the following recipe from Nestle and I think they were a big hit.
DOUBLE CHOCOLATE DREAM COOKIES
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour.
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda.
1/2 teaspoon salt.
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened.
1 cup packed brown sugar.
3/4 cup granulated sugar.
2 large eggs.
2 cups chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. In another bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and vanilla until creamy. Beat in eggs for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels. Drop by rounded tablespoon (I used a cookie scoop) onto parchment paper.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes until cookies are puffed. Cool on baking sheets.
