Triple Chocolate Cookies

The past few days we have been having a much needed yard renovation.  We have been wanting to renovate our yard since we bought our house a couple years ago, but such work can be a mighty expense.  After shopping around we found a fair price and decided to take the bull by the horns and get this yard business under control.  It looks stunning.  So stunning I regret not doing it sooner.  It literally transforms your house.  Honest and truly.

 I'll tell you what I don't regret.  Whipping up a batch of these bad boys.  Decadent, fudgey, and loaded with chocolate chips, these cookies will send you over the edge.  They are my absolute favorite cookie.  You could make a double chocolate batch, leaving the white chocolate chips out, but I can't see why you would.  Unless there's a white chocolate shortage or something.  ;)

Triple Chocolate Cookies

YEILD: About 3 1/2 dozen

ingedients:

1/2 pound unsalted butter, 2 sticks softened
2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup white chocolate chips

directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat.  

Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy, scrapping down the sides as needed.  Add the eggs, one at a time mixing well after each addition.  Stir in the vanilla.

In a medium size bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.  Add the dry ingredients in thirds, mixing until just combined.  Stir in the chocolate chips. 

Using a cookie scoop, scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet.  Bake until cookies are set around the edges, but still looks underdone in the middle.  Cookies will keep cooking even after you pull them from the oven.  Allow to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before placing on a wire rack to cool completely.
