CCCC



This recipe I found in a women's magazine that offered a large number of Christmas recipes, so I just grabbed it for some inspiration. What chocolate chocolate chip cookies have to do directly with Christmas I'm not sure about, but I had the ingredients at home so that was chosen. As I was making the batter I noticed that there was no addition of cocoa powder....So how exactly were they supposed get that dark chocolate color? Great I just bought a magazine full of crappy recipes! Well I made it work, just added some cocoa powder and they actually turned out quite good. Simple, fast and easy- for a pretty impressive cookie (flavor wise that is).

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie:

250 gr butter, at room temp.
1 ¼ cups brown sugar
1 tbsp vanilla sugar
pinch of salt
2 eggs
2 ¾ cups (360 gr) flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
200 gr chopped dark chocolate (or chips)

Preheat oven to 190°.
Cream butter, sugars and salt until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time.
Mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and soda in a seperate bowl, then add to the wet ingredients. Add chocolate.
Place teaspoons of dough on parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes.
Cool cookies on wire rack and eat!

  1. How odd that they didn't include cocoa powder! I'm glad the cookies worked out though :)

  6. Your newly invented cookie looks delish! Chocolate chip cookies should LOOK chocoalte. Isn't it odd the magazine would publish something that wasn't quite right? Do you think there might have been a printing error? (Trying to give them the benefit of the doubt)
