Note: My grandson says, "These are the best cookies I've ever tasted! " 💓

Ingredients

2-3/4  cups all-purpose flour

1/2    tsp. baking soda

1/4    tsp. salt

1/2    cup unsweetened Special Dark Cocoa*

1       cup dark brown sugar, packed

3/4    cup white sugar

1       cup salted butter, softened

3       large eggs

2       tsp. pure vanilla* 

2       cups (12.oz) Dark Chocolate Chips

*  I recommend Watkins Pure Vanilla and King Arthur Special Dark Cocoa (Amazon) for the most delicious cookies!

Directions

Preheat oven 300° F.

    In a medium bowl, combine flour, soda, salt and sifted cocoa powder. Mix well with a wire whisk and set aside.

    In a large bowl, blend sugars with an electric mixer ad medium speed.  Add butter and beat to form a grainy paste. Scrape down the sides of the bowl then add eggs and vanilla. Beat at medium speed until light and fluffy.

    Add the flour mixture and blend at low speed until combined.  Add chocolate chips and blend just until mixed.  Do not overmix.

    Drop dough by tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheets or on Silpat lined sheets.  Bake for 15 minutes.  Transfer cookies to a cool surface.
