DARK CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies image

These are the ultimate chocolate cookies. Yes, it's a bold claim, but with dark chocolate mixed in at three different steps-we'll stand behind it. First, bittersweet chocolate chips (60 percent cacao-the real plant from which chocolate is made) get melted into the butter. Then a flour mixture featuring Hershey's™ Special Dark™ cocoa powder-100 percent cacao-gets added. Finally, another 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips get stirred into the dough before baking, so every bite you take is bursting with melt-in-your-mouth bittersweet bursts. To keep all that deep, rich flavor balanced, cookies get rolled in granulated sugar before baking for a little extra sweetness and sparkle! Serve cookies with a tall glass of cold milk, and if that's not enough to satisfy your chocolate craving, nothing will be!

DEEP DARK CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Deep Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies image

This recipe is from the Hershey's chocolate lovers cookbook; they are my husbands favorite chocolate cookie. He doesn't care for nuts so the picture is without nuts. I've also made them with & without the chocolate chips; being a chocolate lover, I prefer them WITH the chips! They remind me of a little brownie - yum!!
