I came across this recipe the other day as I was looking at recipes on my AllRecipes Dinner Spinner app. Apparently I was having a sugar craving as all I was looking at was desserts! :) Tonight I was making some dough up to make Valentine sugar cookies which had to chill in the fridge for an hour. I guess I had a bee in my bonnet and decided to make these as I was waiting. I think they are rather delicious, but Malcolm my non-chocolate lover, thought they were too chocolaty. I've never heard of anything having too much chocolate! So chocoholics, enjoy!
Very Chocolate Cookies
Ingredients
1 1/4 cups butter, softened
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt, gradually stir into the creamed mixture. Fold in chocolate chips. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto unprepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Do not overbake. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
*My first batch came out with VERY flat cookies. I ended up adding maybe another 1/2 cup of flour and then they were beautiful and round after that. I think maybe it has something to do with where I live, as I ended up having to add a little bit more flour to my sugar cookies as well, as they were coming out the same as usual. So if they come out flat, add a little bit of flour! Mine cooked for exactly 10 mins. It's hard to tell when chocolate cookies are done.

Yum!! They look perfect! I'm usually a milk chocolate chip fan, would that be they be too sweet/rich in these cookies?
I'm a milk chocolate chip fan too Mel, but I felt the same way, it would be too rich in these. I had to go to the store for the semi sweet, when I have a stockpile of milk chocolate.
I'm going to make some right now because they sound really quick and easy!!
Now those are my kind of cookies! Not only are they delicious, I was able to make all of it in under an hour and it made exactly three dozen. Good recipe!!
Malcolm is my grandchild. Although, I have grown to appreciate chocolate as an adult. I think it's hormonal! I'll have to try these!
