Hi sweet friends!
After recently posting over on IG about the delicious, Midnight Chocolate Chip Cookies (that I’ve enjoyed baking for almost a decade now) - I have received quite a bit of interest from you! How lovely that many of you would too like to bake a batch of these yummy double chocolate cookies too!! 😀😍😋
Here’s my special recipe, tweaked over the years to perfection. Enjoy & Happy Baking!!
🥚🧈💛🥚🧈💛🥚
Ingredients-
2 1/2 cup all purpose flour
2/3 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup butter 🧈, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup dk. brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs 🥚, room temperature
3/4 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
🧈🥚🌼🧈🥚🌼🧈
Directions-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Whisk together dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda) in a bowl. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer on medium-high speed to combine butter and sugars until light in appearance & fluffy. 2 minutes
Continue to add eggs (one at a time) then vanilla. Add chocolate chips.
With electric mix on low speed , gently add in the flour mixture until the dough comes together. 15 seconds.
Cover the bowl w/ plastic wrap and refrigerate until dough is firm. At least 1 hour.
Time to bake! Line baking sheet w/ parchment or nonstick mats. Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough & form into round 2 1/2” balls. Flatten w/ palm of hand - cookies should be 1/2” thick.
Bake for 14 - 18 minutes
Let cool on wire rack before gobbling them up! 💛💛💛
