chocolate chocolate chip cookies

Is there anything better than this?  These cookies are crisp chocolate cookie batter with melted, mushy chocolate chips sprinkled throughout.

Anything?  I thought not.

I'm posting some very delicious outfits this week, so I thought I should balance them out with an absolutely *delicious* new recipe.  These cookies are a chocolate lover's dream -- like a thin, gooey brownie in a slice, sweet and rich and absolutely perfect.  I dare you to look at this recipe and not think about it again today -- go ahead, try.

Just save one for me when you finally cave in...

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

INGREDIENTS

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1 cup butter

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Sift together flour, cocoa powder and baking powder. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar, and then beat in the egg and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and mix well. Roll rounded spoonfulls of dough into balls, and place onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake the cookies for 8 minutes, or until golden. Once the cookies are out of the oven, press chocolate chips into the tops of each cookie, and let them stand in the pans for at least a minute before cooling them fully on wire racks.

Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
