Dear DoAheads, if you haven’t figured it out yet this tribe eats chocolate. More accurately, we need chocolate. We have many chocolate sayings in our home. A recent favorite…

“I tried a dessert called Death by Chocolate…it only made me stronger.”

Not only do we have chocolate verbiage throughout the home we almost always have chocolate food in the home. A favored item is currently in the freezer. Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies. (If you like the plain kind check out Chocolate Chip Cookie Love.)

I’m not wasting any time on this one friends. I’ll go round up the recipe so I can share. While I’m at it I’ll take some photos of the bad boys. And yes, if you insist I’ll sample a few. (Just to keep my review accurate and honest.)

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

 Ingredients:

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup (2 sticks) of butter

4 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

3 cups flour

1/2 cup cocoa powder

2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

2 1/2 to 3 cups chocolate chips

Warm oven to 360 degrees. Mix sugars, butter, eggs and vanilla. (We like Mexican Vanilla.) Add flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Stir in chips. The original recipe calls for 2 cups of chips. Tailor it to whatever your family likes. (You already know where this tribe stands.)

Drop or form into balls and place on cookie sheet. Bake for 7-8 minutes. We like cookies on the soft side. If that is your preference you’ll definitely want to remove them sooner than later. If they are still slightly doughy in the center let them cool. We store extras in the freezer. Once thawed the slightly doughy cookie is super soft and tender!

I thought I’d post one more pic of our favorite cookie jar. This time a close up.

With hearts.

And sparkles.

And love.

For Chocolate.

Your DoAhead Friend,
