Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

It's a quiet Sunday in the Hoback Nation. Time to bake some cookies!

These are the most blissful Double Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Ingredients:
1/2 c. salted butter, softened
1/2 c. margarine, softened
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. all-purpose four
2/3 c. cocoa powder
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350*
Beat softened butter, margarine and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add the vanilla and beat until combined.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda & salt. Whisk dry ingredients together until combined.
Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet, beating gently after each addition, until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and fold in with spatula until incorporated. Batter will be thick. Form into 1 inch balls and press to flatten slightly.
Bake 7-9 minutes. I baked for 4 minutes, then rotated the cookie sheet and baked 4-5 minutes longer.
Makes 4 dozen "two-bite" size cookies. You could make them larger if you'd like. These are so delicious! Enjoy!
