Twin Chocolate Delights

By Dianewaldron

Twin Chocolate Delights cookies should freeze well, but I can't swear to that--they never last long enough to try it.

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter (2 sticks-melted)
• 2 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1/2 cup cocoa (unsweetened, for baking)
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 4 beaten eggs (just whip them up with a fork)
• 3 cups flour (no need to sift)
• 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
• 2 cups chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add the sugar and mix. Then add the cocoa, soda, salt, and vanilla, and stir until smooth. Add the beaten eggs and stir thoroughly. Mix in the flour, the chopped nuts (if you want to use them), and then the chocolate chips.
Place rounded teaspoons of dough on a greased cookie sheet, 12 to a standard sheet. (They'll flatten out as you bake them).
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes, then remove them to a wire rack to complete cooling.
