Double Chocolate Cookies

I love cookies!  This recipe calls for two types of chocolate chips to make some seriously delicious treats.  The original recipe comes from The Pioneer Woman's blog.  I scaled back the recipe a bit to save some pp – I took out some butter and reduced how many chocolate chips the recipe calls for.  I also made the cookies a bit smaller to add an extra ½ dozen to the total recipe yield. They are still a bit indulgent, but every once in a while it is okay to splurge a bit. Katie and I actually made these together when we got together with our husbands for a dinner party a few months ago!
Servings:  3 ½ dozen or 42 cookies
Size:  1 cookie
Points Plus:  5pp per cookie
Level of Difficulty:  Easy
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Bake Time:  9-11 minutes per batch

Ingredient List:
2 sticks butter, softened
2 cups white sugar
2 large eggs
3 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup cocoa powder
1 ½ tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup white chocolate chips

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°.  Lightly spray cookie sheets with cooking spray.  Cream together the butter and sugar.  Add in the eggs, one at a time; make sure they are mixed well.  Add in the vanilla extract.  In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.  Add the dry mixture to the butter/sugar/egg mixture in multiple batches.  Gently fold in the semi-sweet and white chocolate chips.  Scoop out the cookies (about 1 Tbsp. per cookie) onto cookie sheets.  Bake for approximately 9-11 minutes, until just set in the middle.  Cool on wire baking racks and enjoy!
Tip:
Okay these cookies are delicious!  You can easily cut this recipe in half to only end up with 21 cookies so you don’t go crazy.  Or bring the extras into work and share with your coworkers (and get them out of your house J)!!!
