Hey All!
This is my favorite cookie recipe of all time! I discovered this recipe as a child in my Mum's CHOCOLATE cook book and I have since perfected it and made it about... let's see... 200 times. :) I make them for every event to share and sometimes for just myself to be selfish. The recipe takes a little patience at first, but once you find how wonderful they are, you wont mind taking your time with them in the future.
Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 cups flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup butter softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 12 oz. bag (2 cups) semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375*
Sift together flour, cocoa, and baking soda in a medium bowl and set aside.
In a large mixer bowl, beat softened butter and shortening for 30 seconds until creamy. Add both sugars and beat until fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla until thoroughly incorporated. Add the dry ingredient mix about one cup at a time to the wet mix, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
Scoop generous tablespoon measurements of dough onto a cookie sheet and place in oven for 10 minutes. Dough will appear soft and "uncooked" in the middle, but that's fine! (They will continue to cook a bit after removed from oven). Let the cookies rest for a minute before transferring them to a cooling rack... this will give them a chance to settle and not break (unless you WANT them to break so you can eat them right away).
Serve warm with a tall glass of cold milk.

PS I made these today and I have already eaten about 1/4 of the cookies!
