Category : Cookie, Dessert
Yield : 18 cookies



INGREDIENTS

• 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature (this is important)
• 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar, sifted
• 1/2 cup dark cocoa powder, sifted (I use Hershey's Special Dark)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cream the butter, cocoa powder and sugar together until completely combined and smooth. Add in the vanilla. if using a stand mixer, be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
2. Mix in the flour, making sure to get it thoroughly blended, but don't over mix.
3. Fold in the chocolate chips and turn the dough out onto a board dusted with cocoa powder. The dough will be sticky.
4. For roll and cut cookies, form into an 8 inch disk (like you would do for pie dough.) Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until firm enough to roll out. You can also freeze the dough for later use.
