Double Chocolate Cookies

Darryl and I said there will be no gift-exchanging this V-day, but cookies that we'll share can be an exception :)

It was supposed to be a surprise, but I told Darryl tonight haha. I might make this and another cookie, or this and brownies. We'll see how I feel on Thursday night/Friday morning.

Double Chocolate Cookies (~3 dozen)

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt (I never put it in..)
1/2 lb. milk chocolate (4 oz. coarsely chopped, 4 oz. cut into 1/4" pieces)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1.5 cups sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract

1. Preheat oven to 325. Put together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Melt 4 oz. coarsely chopped chocolate with the butter. Let it cool slightly.
2. Put chocolate mixture, sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a bowl, and mix with an electric mixer on medium. Reduce speed to low and mix in flour mixture. Fold in chocolate chunks.
3. Drop dough onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Space 2" apart. Bake until cookies are flat and cracked (15 minutes.)
