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!
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.
Notes
Low cost per serving.
