Bready or Not: Cocoa Cookies
In the mood for chocolate? Here you go. These cookies are like mini brownies packed with cocoa and chocolate chips!
I used Nestle Tollhouse chips in Halloween colors to really set off the lovely dark dough. It helps to show how much chocolate is loaded in these babies, too.
There is nothing healthy about these. Nothing. You have butter, sugar, cocoa, and loads of chocolate chips. It’s the first week of October and I have already sabotaged all your healthy eating plans for the season.
Sorry/not sorry.

Bready or Not: Cocoa Cookies

A must-eat for chocoholics! These chewy brownie cookies taste strongly of cocoa. This makes about 40 teaspoon-sized cookies.
Modified from Chocolate Drop Cookies at King Arthur Flour.
1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar, light or dark, packed
1/3 cup Dutch-process cocoa, sifted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg, room temperature
2 tablespoons milk (almond milk works)
1 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon espresso powder, optional; for depth of flavor
2 cups (1 bag) chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 375. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment.
Beat together the butter, sugars, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and vanilla extract until well blended. Scrape sides of bowl.
Add the egg and milk, beating until smooth, then the flour and espresso powder. Add the chocolate chips last.
Use a teaspoon scoop to set dollops of dough on the cookie sheet. Don't set them too close together.
Bake cookies for 9 to 11 minutes, until they've lost their sheen. Cool on pan for a few minutes and then move to rack.
OM NOM NOM!
