Chocolate chip cookies

Description

These chocolate chocolate chip cookies are made with cocoa powder and chocolate chips to guarantee chocolaty flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

• Sugar: The recipe starts with 1 ½ cups white sugar.
• Butter: Beat the sugar with two sticks of softened butter.
• Eggs: Two eggs lend moisture and act as a binding agent, which means they help hold the dough together.
• Vanilla: Vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor of the chocolate chocolate chip cookies.
• Flour: All-purpose flour gives the cookie dough structure.
• Cocoa powder: They wouldn't be chocolate chocolate chip cookies without cocoa powder!
• Baking soda: Baking soda acts as a leavener, which means it helps the cookies rise.
• Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor, but it won't make the cookies taste salty.
• Chocolate chips: You'll need two cups of semisweet chocolate chips.
• Walnuts (optional): Walnuts are optional, but they add welcome crunch.

Steps

1. Gather all the ingredients and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Beat sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
3. Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl; stir into butter mixture until well blended.
4. Mix in chocolate chips and walnuts. Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
5. Bake in the preheated oven just until set, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool slightly on the cookie sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
6. Enjoy!
