Super Chocolate Cookies

Super Chocolate Cookies

For Christmas 2019 my Mom gave me a cookbook, specifically 'the chocolate cookbook' and that is where this recipe comes from. And these are delicious!

Servings 18 large cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened, (1/2 block / 1 stick)
  • 1 1/3 cups brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup MM candies
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 3/4 cup salted peanuts

Instructions
 

  • Measure out the peanuts, raisins, and MM's. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt and set that aside. In a large mixing bowl, add the butter, shortening, and brown sugar.
  • Now that many of the items are ready, go ahead and preheat your oven to 180 C (350 F). Line a baking sheet or two with parchment paper.
  • Mix the sugar, butter, shortening with an electric mixer at medium speed. Add the eggs and vanilla, beat until well blended.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture while mixing with the electric mixer on low speed. Swap out the mixer for a sturdy spoon to mix in the remaining flour until you get a nice dough and the flour is all mixed in.
  • Stir in the MM's, raisins, and peanuts.
  • Drop the dough by 1/4 cupfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, 3 inches apart. Flatten dough slightly with your fingertips. Bake 13-15 minutes or until almost set. (I just used heaping tablespoons, worked well.)
  • Remove from oven and cool on the sheet for 2 minutes.
  • Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve and enjoy.
