Dark Chocolate Cookies Recipe!

Hey. Hi. Hello. Today I thought it would be fun to share one of my favorite recipe’s with you, Dark Chocolate Cookies! They are so simple yet, incredibly good! My friend made them a few months ago for a church group meeting and they were so good she gave me the recipe and I absolutely love them! Also, they are super versatile, you can melt a peanut butter cup or an Andes mint in the center of two when they are fresh out of the oven. (please, I beg you to try at least one like this)

Start out by mixing together your dry ingredients with a whisk.

Beat the butter and sugars together.

And add the eggs.

Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.

Form the dough into rough balls** and bake.

 

And enjoy!

Now is the perfect time to stack two together with a peanut butter cup or Andes mint or  butterfinger or anything else you fancy!

YUMMM!!!!!

2. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a small bowl.
3. Beat the butter for about a minute then add the sugars and beat for 1-3 minutes or until well combined.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix together with a spatula.
5. Add the chocolate chips.
6. Scoop the cookie dough into tablespoon size balls and place on cookie sheet. ***See note at bottom.

Recipe Notes:

*Here is a picture of the cocoa powder I used. You can use the regular kind, they just won’t look as dark.

**You can pretty much use any type of chocolate chips you want, for the example above I used semisweet, but white would give a neat pop and peanut butter may be interesting, while dark chocolate would stick to the theme!

***I scoop my cookies rather than rolling them for a more “rustic” look, which I like. If you don’t like this then feel free to roll your cookies into balls before baking!
