JUMBO CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE-CHIP COOKIES
THIS RECIPE MAKES 17 BIG COOKIES
2 cups flour
1 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/3 cups brown sugar (packed)
2/3 cup granulated sugar
10 oz. pkg. MINI chocolate chips
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
pinch salt
3 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs
1 cup melted butter
Whisk together the flour + cocoa + baking soda + salt (set aside)
In your stand mixer, mix together the melted butter + brown sugar + granulated sugar + eggs + vanilla. Mix until smooth.
Add the flour mixture (1/2 at a time), mix well between each addition (batter will be VERY thick). Add the mini-chocolate chips and mix just until well incorporated.
Form cookies into large ball (1/4 cup each in size). Flatten each cookie JUST A TINY BIT, then place on parchment paper lined cookie sheet with 4" space between each cookie. I add a few extra mini chocolate chips on top of each cookie, but you don't have to.
CHILL FOR 2 HOURS.
Take chilled cookies out of refrigerator while your oven is pre-heating. Bake 14 minutes, or until top of cookie is just "set". Don't over-bake.
Let the baked cookie sit on the cookie sheet for at least 5 minutes before you move to a cooling rack.
NOTE: I wrap this big cookies individually before I put them in the cookie jar. It keeps them soft.
NOTE: As "Empty Nesters" I'm always looking for smaller desserts. So, when I make these monsters, I usually shape and freeze a few (unbaked). I just pull a couple out of the freezer and bake them a couple minutes longer than the regular directions.
They make a quick and easy dessert for us empty nesters. Just remember to let the baked cookie sit on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before you try to move them.
