Tasty Tuesday

Chocolate, Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 c all-purpose flour

2/3 cup cocoa powder

3/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

2 c semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 c chopped walnuts (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350

2. In large bowl, beat butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy.  Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; stir into the butter mixture until well blended. Mix in the chocolate chips and walnuts.  Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Review:

Now.... I'm not a fan of chocolate, unless it's a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup.... but these were amazing!  We ate the crap out of them!!!!  Definitely try them!  

A tip I got was to make the batter and then refrigerate it for an hour before baking, it helps to keep them from going completely flat while baking.  It worked wonderfully! :)  Enjoy!
