Giant Double Chocolate Cookies

Here's another favorite recipe for our family.  All three of us consider chocolate part of the family.  This recipe comes from annies-eats.com.  This lady created every chocolate lovers dream.  Let me stop talking about it and get to it. 

You'll need: 
   2 sticks of cold butter, cubed
   1 1/4 cups of sugar
   2 large eggs
   1/2 cup of cocoa 
   2 1/4 cups of flour
   1 tsp baking powder 
   1/4 tsp salt
   2 1/2 cups of chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350.

Cream your butter and sugar together.  Since the butter is cold this will take longer than normal (3-4 min).  It actually won't really start to cream very well until you crack your eggs in (one at a time.)

Add the cocoa and mix until it's very well blended.  

When everything is well incorporated, slowly add the flour, powder and salt.  The dough is going to get REALLY THICK.  Have a big strong person come and stir in your chocolate chips, or do it yourself and be awesome. 

Use a lightly greased cookie sheet and start ploppin that dough down.  I like to make them big.  One thing to keep in mind is that they don't spread out very far so you can put them somewhat close together.. I forgot about that.

And then, you have this.. This soft, moist, melty and yummy creation. :) 

Enjoy!
