Double Chocolate Cookies - A Recipe

Today was my regular Wednesday off. At 7 AM, the outside temp was -5 degrees so I decided it would be a good day to stay indoors for knitting, movie watching and cookie baking. Last week I found a recipe for Double Chocolate Cookies on the back of a bag of Crystal Sugar and decided to try that out today. I think these cookies turned out pretty darn good and if you're interested in trying out this recipe for yourself or your favorite "test subjects," I've written it down below.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE COOKIES

1-1/4 cups sugar

1 cup butter, softened

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 (12-ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips

(obviously I used white chocolate chips)

Cream sugar and butter; beat in egg and vanilla. Beat in flour, cocoa and baking soda on low speed. Stir in chocolate chips.

Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 8 to 11 minutes or until set. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets.

Yield: 3 dozen cookies
