Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Been gone for a while. Working has been a big hindrance to my blogging! And to my baking! tsk tsk...

Anyway, here's a new recipe I'd like to share. Since it's already obvious and I think I've said it a million times that hubby & I love chocolate, and a chocolate chip cookie is not enough to satisfy our cravings that day, I searched for a double chocolate-chip cookies.

Sorry for the blurry photo... I just used my phone to take a shot. The important thing is they were yummy! They're not as chewy as I expected, but chocolatey nonetheless.

Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. On low speed, add the dry mixture to the butter mixture. Beat until fully incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
2. Form the dough into approximately 1 1/2-inch balls. Place on parchment- or foil-lined baking sheets, 2 inches apart.
