I had one of those moments this morning. You know the one- where you try to close your apartment door with the car lock button. Ya, I’ve done it twice. Ssh Don’t tell anyone! So what was I to do but turn right back around, apologize to the Nut and make some chocolate cookies! Because a little bit of chocolate cures all – even a lapse in mental judgment. Did I say a little chocolate? I meant a lot. Yippee! These are chewy on the inside with a slight crunch as you take a bite and full of chocolate flavor. I might have indulged in five in one day but now I consider myself officially cured. wink* haha
Grammy’s Chocolate Cookies
Adapted from Martha Stewart Cookies
Ingredients:
- 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch process cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped semisweet or bittersweet chocolate
Directions: Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into a bowl. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, beat to combine. Gradually add flour mixture and mix until just comes together and then mix in the chopped chocolate pieces. Chill about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350*. Shape dough into 1 1/4 inch balls. Roll each ball in sugar and place on a baking sheet. Bake about 10 to 12 minutes. Happy Baking!
