Extra chocolate chocolate chip cookies

Some might even say the most chocolate.

Original recipe from The Baking Chocolatess.

Truth be told, I don't remember much about making these cookies. I think they were a spur of the moment "I feel like baking, what do I have in the cupboard" creation. I had the recipe pinned on a Pinterest board because they claimed to be the "Perfect" chocolate chip cookie and had many stellar reviews.

If you are a chocolate lover, these cookies are for you! Every single bite is chock FULL of melty chocolate chips. They were very tasty but if I ever make them again I will use slightly less chips to get more of the cookie action.

Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter see notes, room temperature

• 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

• 6 tablespoons granulated sugar

• 1 large egg

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray. (To get best results, use parchment paper)

2. In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking soda and salt together.

3. In another large bowl, using an electric mixer at medium speed, beat together the butter, and sugars until smooth and mixed together well.

4. Add the egg and vanilla and mix on low speed until mixed in.

5. Gradually add the flour mixture and mix in until just incorporated. Do not keep mixing - do not overmix, you will end up with flat cookies if you over mix.

6. Add chocolate chips and stir with a wooden spoon, again no over-mixing, just until incorporated.

7. Chill dough if dough is warm. (I almost always recommend chilling dough. You will end up with thiccer (yes, thicc not thick) cookies and they're easier to shape into perfect circles.

8. Using a small or large ice cream scoop or heaping tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, 6 to 8 per pan, depending on size you are making.

9. Bake the cookies, 1 sheet at a time, until the bottoms and edges are lightly browned and the tops feel firm when lightly touched,

10. Small cookies bake 8-10 minutes

11. Large cookies bake 10-13 minutes.

12. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
