Chocolate chocolate chip cookies

These chocolate-chocolate chip cookies are a little crunchy on the outside, but soft on the inside. They are yummy–and easy to make. You do not need a bunch of equipment. See the recipe and directions below.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• One teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
• 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
• Two large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• One cup semisweet, bittersweet chocolate chunks or chips

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. 
2. Then line baking sheets with parchment paper. 
3. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour with the baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt.
4. Using your electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy—three to four minutes. 
5. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. 
6. Add the eggs, one at a time. Beat well. Then beat in the vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture and chocolate chips. And mix until incorporated-if the batter is too soft, cover and refrigerate until firm.
7.  Place six cookies on each baking sheet. 
8. Use a spoon or your fingers, gently flatten each ball of dough into a 2-inch cookie. 
9. Bake the cookies for about 13 – 16 minutes, rotating the baking sheet front to back about halfway through the baking time. 
10. The cookies are ready when they started to set around the edges but still quite soft in the center. 
11. Remove cookies from the oven–and allow them to cool for about five minutes. 
12. Then transfer the batch to a wire rack to finish cooling.
