Ingredients

  • 2 sticks 1 c unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 c brown sugar
  • c granulated white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tsp vanilla
  • 2 ½ c flour
  • ½ c unsweetened dark chocolate cocoa I use Hershey’s Special Dark
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 c dark chocolate chips*
  • 1 c semisweet chocolate chips*

Instructions

  • Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment (or a hand-held electric mixer), cream together the butters & the sugar on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
  • Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula & then add in eggs & vanilla. Mix just until blended (10-15 seconds) on medium speed.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
  • With the mixer on low, gradually add in dry ingredients. Mix just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Cover mixing bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. (You can chill longer - even overnight - if that's more convenient.)
  • Remove dough from fridge, preheat oven to 375, and roll out dough to form 24 cookies - 12 on each baking pan. (If you aren't using USA Pans as your cookie sheets, you may want to consider laying down parchment paper to prevent cookies from sticking.)
  • Bake one pan at a time for 9 minutes at 375 & remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pans for about 10-15 minutes, and then transfer to a cooling rack and allow them to completely cool before transferring them to an airtight container.
  • ENJOY! Share with friends & family - they'll love 'em!

Notes

*If you'd rather just use one kind of chocolate chip vs. both, you definitely can. I just love the combo of the dark + the semisweet. If you choose to just use one, simply use 2 c of that kind.
  • These cookies freeze well!
    To freeze: place the cookies flat on a cookie sheet, place the sheet in the freezer for about 30 min, and then move the cookies into a plastic container with a lid & store in the freezer. 
    To thaw: you can either set them out of the freezer for a couple of hours, or you can microwave them to speed up the thawing process. I've done both, especially if we're impatient for cookies. :)
  • You can easily half the batch if you want to just make a small amount. All of the instructions are the same, just halve the ingredients! :)
