Chocolate Heaven

Oh my gosh guys. I think I have found the best cookies in the entire world. They're amazing. I think they may come from above. Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies. I dream about this level of cookie magic. The chocolate chips when melted straight out of the oven are actually heaven. I'm not kidding either. Wow.

Here are some pictures:

Last night when I made these, I set them out to cool. I came back and half of them were gone. My family ate so much of them!

I got this recipe from a blog called Just So Tasty. Here's the recipe, from their blog:

Soft Batch Double Chocolate Cookies

Prep time:  10 mins

Cook time:  12 mins

Total time:  22 mins

Serves: 18

 

Ingredients

• 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (1 stick plus 2 tablespoons)
• ¾ cup packed brown sugar
• ¼ cup graulated sugar
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 1½ teaspoons vanilla
• 1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and levelled
• ⅔ cup natural cocoa
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1¼ cups chocolate chips - semi-sweet or dark

Instructions

1. In a large bowl using a stand or hand-held mixer, cream the butter and sugars together on medium speed for about 2 minutes until well creamed. Then add the egg and vanilla and continue mixing until combined - about 30 seconds. Turn off the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
2. Then slowly add in the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt mixing on low speed until incorporated. Turn off the electric mixer and stir in the chocolate chips. I usually reserve about ¼ cup of chocolate chips for sprinkling on top.
3. Form dough into 3 tablespoon balls and place 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat. Cover with cling film and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 48.
4. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes until the tops are just set. Remove from oven and let cool on their tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to continue cooling.

Notes

After chilling the cookie dough in the fridge, you can place the balls in a ziplock bag to freeze.

These cookies are literally amazing. Go make them. These cookies melt in your mouth and they're so good. I loved baking them. The only tip I would say is to cook them for at least 13 minutes to make sure they're finished cooking. They're meant to be gooey though so don't overcook them.

To quote my sister "They're Starbucks good."

Happy Baking!!
