Double Chocolate Cookies

If your a chocolate lover like me, you will LOVE these cookies. When you bite into one of these, the warm chocolate chips melt in your mouth and you will think you have died and gone to Heaven. They definitely aren't your normal cookies. So if your anything like me and love chocolate, you need to try these.

Double Chocolate Cookies
2 sticks cold butter (cubed)
1 1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup dark cocoa powder
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
2 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or more if you like)

Beat cold butter and sugar for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, scraping the bowl as needed. Add cocoa powder and beat until incorporated. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture, adding a little at a time. Fold in chocolate chips.

Place the dough on a floured surface and knead by hand for about 30 seconds, or just until you know all the ingredients are well incorporated. Using a large ice cream scoop, make about 12 balls and place a few inches apart on a baking sheet. Flatten the cookies slightly with your hand. Bake for 12-16 minutes (I took mine out a little early and that turned out really well).

Let cool for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.
