Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Prep and Cook Time: about 30 minutes, plus 1 hour to chill. Notes: Debbie Dahlin of Hilmar, California, came up with these rich, chewy cookies, which she says are “chocolate therapy.” You can store these cookies airtight for up to 2 days.
How to Make It
Step 1
1
In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water (bottom of bowl should not touch water), stir chopped chocolate and butter often until smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove bowl from over water and, with a whisk or a mixer on medium speed, beat in sugar, egg, and vanilla until blended.
Step 2
2
In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add to chocolate mixture and stir until well blended. Stir in chocolate chips. Cover and chill dough until firm, about 1 hour.
Step 3

Drop dough in 1-tablespoon portions, 3 inches apart, onto buttered 12- by 15-inch baking sheets.
Step 4
