Chocolate Cookies



Recipe is for 911 Chocolate Emergency Cookies from Spark People website.
It was from their article on 12 Days of Holiday Cookies.

Number of Servings: 48

Ingredients


    6 oz semi sweet chocolate chips
    6 oz bittersweet chocolate (can use dark chocolate), broke into large pieces
    1 1/2 cup flour
    1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
    1 1/2 tsp baking powder
    1/2 tsp salt
    3/4 cup brown sugar
    3/4 cup granulated sugar
    3 large eggs
    1 1/2 tsp vanilla

Directions

1. Melt chocolates and 1/2 stick butter (in microwave). Cool briefly.
2. Sift flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
3. Beat 1/2 stick butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until the consistancy of wet sand.
4. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix.
5. Mix in chocolate mixture, beating only until combined.
6. Stir in flour mixture, only until combined.
7. Chill for 1 hour.
8. Dip out with an ice cream scoop (I use a 4 teaspoon cookie dipper) onto a greased cookie sheet.
9. Bake 1 sheet at a time for 9 to 11 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Do not over bake.
10. Cool 2 minutes on pan before moving to cooling racks.

My Notes: I'd recommend making smaller cookies than I did. Also, I may experiment by adding more salt to leave more of a lingering flavor. I decorated using sprinkles and green icing with a decorator tip.
