Preparation
Step 1
“Preheat oven to 350 degrees”
Melt the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add the sugar and mix it in thoroughly. Then add the cocoa, baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir until the resulting mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
If the mixture is not so hot it’ll cook the eggs, add them now. (Otherwise, wait a few more minutes.) Mix thoroughly so that the eggs are well incorporated.
Add the flour in one-cup increments, mixing after each cup. Then mix in the chopped nuts (if you used them).
Stir in the chocolate chips and mix thoroughly.
Place rounded teaspoonfuls of dough on a greased cookie sheet, 12 cookies to a standard-sized sheet. (You can also spray your cookie sheet with Pam or another nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.) You don’t have to flatten the mounds of dough. They’ll spread out all by themselves as they bake.
Bake your Twin Chocolate Delights at 350 degrees F. for 10 minutes. Cool them on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes, and then remove them to a wire rack to complete cooling.
