Jumbo Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

I just recently found the most perfect jumbo chocolate chip cookie recipe I have ever found.  Of course now my very next thought is that I need a perfect jumbo chocolate chocolate chip cookie recipe.  So what is the easiest thing I could think of?  Take my perfect recipe and turn it into a chocolate cookie.  Boom. Done.  Now, I've tried this sort of thing before with less than perfect results, so I was sort of expecting this to fail.  But it didn't. So now I have two amazing jumbo cookie recipes.  These chocolatey cookies have crisp edges and a chewy center and are full of chocolate and white chocolate chips!

Jumbo Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies 

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature

1/2 cup butter flavor shortening

1 1/4 cups granulated sugar

1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar

2 eggs

1 Tablespoon vanilla extract

3 1/3 cups all purpose flour

2/3 cup cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2  cups semi sweet chocolate chips

1 ½ cups white chocolate chips

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

In a large bowl (or use a stand mixer) cream together the butter, shortening, sugar, and brown sugar, until blended and smooth.  Beat in the eggs and vanilla until incorporated.  Add the flour, cocoa powder,  baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and beat until almost incorporated (you should still see flour in the dough).  Add the semi sweet chips and white chips and beat until evenly distributed, and no more streaks of flour remain.

Use a 1/4 cup measure to scoop the dough and place on the prepared baking sheet, six to a sheet.  The dough should be disk shaped (like the measuring cup).  Place in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are just golden brown and the centers are set.  Remove cookies from the oven and let cool on the pan for several minutes.  Transfer cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.  Makes 24 to 26 jumbo cookies.
