Double Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

Boy oh boy am I craving chocolate!!! I think the stress of moving, trying to figure out how to keep the blog alive while I’m moving, and dealing with divorce settlements has completely fried my brain!! Sometimes you just need a really good, soft and chewy, Double Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie to calm the nerves, right?  Just go with it…..

Four weeks from today, Alex and I will start out on our 3,000ish mile drive across the country, so I better make another batch of these cookies before everything I own is packed, LOL Actually, I should probably start packing. 😉

The real reason that I made these Double Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies, was so I could make Ice Cream Sandwiches….

but you will need to wait for that one. First lets make some cookies, shall we?

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place parchment paper/silpat on baking sheets, set aside. Beat butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl until light and fluffy…..

Add the cocoa powder, flour, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt. Beat just until well combined…..

Stir in chocolate chips. Using a #20 cookie/ice cream scoop {one ounce} drop rounded cookies onto prepared baking sheets…..

6 per pan…..

Bake in preheated oven until set, but still soft and chewy, about 18 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool on baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes…..

before moving to a wire cooling rack to cool completely…..

My cookies are 3 1/2-inches…..just the way I like them! 😉 Feel free to make smaller cookies and adjust the time accordingly.

Are you drooling yet? Go on, get baking!! 😉

Enjoy!!
