Double chocolate chip cookies

So it's the first day of spring, so naturally I had to make something springy! I'm feeling a little sad because Easter is in two weeks and I unfortunately am not making the dessert! I told my sister that if I got to make Christmas's dessert that she could have Easter. (Trust me I will never make that promise again!! It's killing me.) So now I am going to make a ton of small little Easter snacks because I can't not bake for Easter! That's just insane! So this is my first "snack". These cookies are one of my favourite things to make, I'm not a huge chocolate fan but there's something about the white and milk chocolate mixture that just gets me! (Maybe it just reminds me of Fabian and I! ;) or maybe they are just that good!) So these cookies can be adapted lots of different ways, you can add different chocolate chips, mint, candy canes, toffee, anything you can think of and they will turn out great! For this batch I

Used white chocolate chips and then some yellow and pink ones that my mom had bought for me in the states. The package actually says "springtime chocolate chips" so of course they were perfect for my little spring fling! So let's get started!

First melt the butter in the microwave. 

Add in the white sugar and mix. 

Then add in the brown sugar and mix well so that there are no lumps. 

Add in the vanilla and give it one final stir. Then set the bowl aside. 

Next in a large bowl add flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder and which together until there are no lumps. 

Create a well in the centre and pour in the butter sugar mixture. 

Add the two eggs and mix together with a spoon until completely combined. 

The dough will be very sticky but that's okay, you don't want watery cookies do you? 

Next add in the chocolate chips and mix together well. 

Grab some of the dough with your hands and form a small ball. Place the ball on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Flatten the ball just a little. These cookies don't stretch out that far so don't be too worried about having them close together. I also wanted fatter cookies so I made them more round but if you want flatter cookies you just have to flatten them out more and they will be just a s good! This really is one of my favourite cookie recipes! I hope you all enjoy it!! 

Recipe

Ingredients 

2 cups flour

2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup butter softened 

2/3 cup brown sugar

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

3/4 cup white chocolate chips 

Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 350F.

Melt butter in microwave, add white sugar and mix well. Add in brown sugar and mix, make sure to get all the lumps out. Add in vanilla and set aside.

In a large bowl mix together flour, salt, baking soda and cocoa powder. Once combined make a small well in the centre of the bowl and pour in the butter sugar mixture. Add two eggs to the bowl and mix well. Once mixed add in the chocolate chips and give it another stir. Take some dough in your hands and roll into a small ball, place on parchment lined cookie sheet and flatten out a little. Place cookie sheet in oven for 10 minutes. (If you are making the cookies flatter than mine adjust the cooking time accordingly, the flatter they are the less time they will need in the oven.) Once down take out of oven and cool on wire rack, eat and enjoy!
