Triple Dark Chocolate Cookies

This is a Nestle recipe that I found at the grocery store the other day.  I have been meaning to make a chocolate cookie for a while, and these looked delicious.  These cookies have melted dark chocolate in the dough, dark cocoa powder, and dark chocolate chips.  They are big and rich and chewy and delicious!  These would definitely be amazing paired with a glass of milk.

Triple Dark Chocolate Cookies

1 2/3 cups dark chocolate chips, divided

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature

1/2 cup  packed brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup all purpose flour

1/4 cup dark cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat the oven to 375F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Set aside.

Place 2/3 cup chocolate chips in a small microwave safe bowl.  Heat in the microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring after each until melted and smooth.  Set aside to cool slightly.

Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the melted chocolate until combined.  Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until well blended. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, and beat until just combined.  Stir in the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips.

Drop the dough by 1/4 cupfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between for the cookies to spread.  Bake for about 14 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are cracked and the centers are set.  Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for several minutes.  Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.  Makes about 12 cookies.

Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
