ERIN'S ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• PREHEAT the oven to 375˚ SET OUT the butter and allow it to get to room temp. MELT 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate in heavy duty saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat. COMBINE: Sift flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat room temp butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well blended. Beat in egg on low speed until combined, then add milk until combined. Beat in approximately 3/4 of the melted chocolate to butter/sugar mix until well blended. Add a little of the remaining melted chocolate a little bit at a time to taste (I usually have about 2-3 tablespoons of the melted chocolate left over). Gradually beat in flour mixture, dough will be fluffy. Stir in remaining 2 cups of chocolate chips. Drop spoonfulls of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets. (*For a thinner cookie, slightly flatten the balls of dough on the sheet. You can also refrigerate the dough for 20 mins for a crunchier consistency.) BAKE 8-10 minutes or until cookies are puffed. Cool on baking sheet for a few minutes and then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy!
