Cookie Sunday: Death by Chocolate

You know what today is y'all: Cookie Sunday!!! I asked the hubby what he would like to see for Cookie Sunday and his answer was double chocolate cookies. So double chocolate cookies it is. To be honest, I'm not a double chocolate lover and these bad boys should be considered death by chocolate cookies!! My favorite cookie is a chocolate chip with the perfect amount of chocolate to cookie. Just enough to get a small chocolate surprise in every or even every other bite. These cookies are not for the faint at heart. If you aren't game for rich, dark, decadent chocolately goodness then these just aren't the cookie for you. Here we have the cast of ingredients:

1 stick of unsalted butter: room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips/chunks

We all know how cookies begin: butter + sugar become besties!! Cream those babies together until they are basically one. Add 1 large egg + 1 tsp vanilla and keep on mixing!!

For the dry ingredients mix the four, cocoa powder, baking soda/powder, salt together in a bowl and add it all at once to the butter, sugar mixture. Mix on high just until the dough comes together. It will seem a little dry but thats ok :)

Add the chocolate chips to the batter and you are ready to scoop! Scoop scooop ay dooop scoop ay doop scoop ay doooopaay...oh wait. That's not the song!! HeHe 

Use your cookie scoop and drop cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake these rich little bites of deliciousness for about 10 minutes. Make sure to check the cookies and not over bake them. Because they are dark chocolate cookies it is easy to bake them too long and no one wants a crispy cookie?! These should be moist on the inside and gooey and did I mention delicious?! 

Like I said before....these are not really my jam. However, a good sprinkling of sea salt takes these cookies to a level that I can totally enjoy. Why does salt have to be so naughty?!!! Ugh I just want everything in life to have a nice sprinkling of sea salt...is that wrong??

I hope you all enjoy these cookies as much as my hubby did. After all in my house we share the happy husband/wife = happy life saying! Until next Cookie Sunday...

XO.
