I really believe these cookies could change the world. They are, to the naked eye, everything that a cookie is and should be, but I think they eat more like a brownie, a box brownie at that... And I love me a box brownie in any way, shape, or form.
I mixed up a batch of these cookies this weekend to put in my girls' basketball goodie bags this morning. We tip off at the Region 8 tournament today (wish us luck!), so I used the girls as an excuse to make these little bits of deliciousness. The key is to not overbake the cookies. I baked mine on the shy side of 10 minutes and they were perfect. Enjoy!
(aka Brownie Cookies)
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup Nestle Toll House Baking Cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 3/4 cup (11.5-oz. pkg) Nestle Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunks
Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in medium bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in chunks. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until cookies are puffed and centers are set but still soft. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. Yields 40.
