Double Chocolate Cookies
Ingredients
- cup butter or margarine, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 egg
- 2 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the butter or margarine and sugars together until fluffy. Add the vanilla and egg and beat an additional minute.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Slowly add to the mixing bowl and stir just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips by hand.
- Roll heaping tablespoons of dough into a ball and place on baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 9-11 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. (Makes about 3 dozen cookies.)
Notes
After our cookies were completely cooled, I frosted them with this buttercream frosting recipe that I tinted pink. Then my little girls helped decorate them by adding a gummy heart to the top of each cookie. Hopefully they’ll be a hit at school tomorrow.
