Yesterday was a 'snow day' here in the heartland. It used to mean baking cookies with six 'extra' hands helping in the kitchen. These days, as teenagers, they still want the warm cookies but they are content to let me bake by myself while they hang out with friends playing video games and watching movies. Here are the cookies I made, and now you can too!Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies with Vanilla Chips
1 1/4 c butter
2 c sugar
2 eggs
2 t vanilla
2 c flour
3/4 c cocoa
1 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1 c semi sweet chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
1 c vanilla chips
Cream butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla. Blend the cocoa, flour, soda and salt. Add to the creamed mixture. Stir in the chips last. Drop by tablespoons onto a parchment lined or greased cookie sheet. Bake approximately 8 minutes at 350 degree's until the edges are firm but the center is 'just' set. Let sit on the cookie sheets for 3 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
