Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies were a creation of mine several years ago. I wanted a chocolate chip cookie that was also completely chocolate. However, anytime I made double chocolate recipes they always turned out like cookie mounds rather than actual cookies. I then decided to take several different cookie recipes and combine what I loved from each one. The resulting cookies are perfect chocolate chip cookies that have a fantastic chocolaty base.You can use any type of chocolate chips you prefer. I simply enjoy the traditional semi-sweet chocolate chips in this recipe. If you wanted to spice it up you could substitute a milk chocolate or white chocolate chip instead. This would cut back on the “darkness” of these cookies. If you substitute a sweeter chip though you will want to add less so they don’t overpower the other flavors.You may decide you’d like to skip the refrigeration step, however, this is a bad idea. When you refrigerate the cookies you end up getting a better finished product. The cookies spread better and they are chewier. While this step does take time it is key to getting the best possible cookie you can.[amd-yrecipe-recipe:69]
