Any of you classy co-eds looking for a way to relax or procrastinate? I have always found that baking is a wonderful way to do both, especially because my flat mates love American cookies. So set up your laptop in the kitchen and dance to some music while making some of these delicious cookies. They are also great for group dinners if you need to bring a desert!
1 Cup Butter (unsalted, softened)
1 ½ Cups Granulated Sugar
2 Eggs
2 teaspoons Vanilla
3/4 Cup Milk (or Semi-Sweet) Chocolate Chips
2 Cups Flour
2/3 Cup Cocoa Powder
3/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
½ Cup Dark Chocolate Chips
3 Pinches Salt
Baking Time: 8-10 minutes
Makes: Approximately 3 Dozen cookies
1) Pre-heat the oven to 350° F.
2) Mix the softened butter with the sugar. Then add the eggs and vanilla until mixture is smooth.
3) Melt the Milk Chocolate Chips either on the stove or in the microwave and add the warm chocolate to the mixture.
4) Slowly fold in the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt). Dough should be sticky and firm.
5) Place balls of dough on an ungreased baking sheet about 2 inches apart and put in the oven.
6) Wait for them to spread out and bake. Take them out when they are still soft in the middle.
7) Let them cool on a wire rack or wax paper.
Then grab a few friends like I did (to avoid eating them all yourself) and enjoy some chocolaty treats!
