Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

Lately I've been trying out new recipes for the cookie of the week that I've been making for the kids to eat after school and for the pit crew at Dave's play practice. This recipe I just had to share!! It is a wonderful cookie that I'm sure will be a favorite. I got this recipe on allrecipes.com. Almost 1000 people gave it 4 1/2 stars so I had to put it to the test. Yesterday I gave one to Dave's principle at his school (he is also Dave's good friend) and asked him if he were to rate this cookie out of 5 stars what would he give it. He said he'd give it a 6! So try it out for yourself and see if it's a hit at your house!

Ingredients:

1 c. soften butter
1 1/2 c. white sugar (I used 3/4 c. white sugar & 3/4 c. brown sugar)
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
2 c. all-purpose flour
2/3 c. cocoa powder
3/4 tsp. soda
1/4 tsp. salt
2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used 1 bag of Reese's peanut butter chips & 3/4 c. choc. chunks)
1/2 c. chopped nuts (optional, I didn't use)

Note: Sorry to those who tried to make this recipe before I fixed the mistake. A friend notified me of a typo in the recipe. So sorry. It's correct now!

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In large bowl, beat sugars, eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Sift with a wire whisk in another bowl; flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Stir into the butter/sugar mixture and mix until well blended. Mix in the chips and walnuts. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet.
3. Bake for 8-10 minutes in the preheated oven, or just until set. Cool slightly on the cookie sheet before transferring to the wire racks to cool completely.
4. Enjoy and try not to eat too many!!

I used this for our Activity Days activity tonight and we stirred in mini reeses pieces. And, when I was looking at the recipe that I had written down from your blog, I thought it was weird that it had no baking soda. I went and looked it up on allrecipes.com. You have 3/4 t. of salt and it should be 1/4 t. salt and 3/4 t. baking soda. Thought you might like to know... :)
