Baking time!! Chocolate, white chocolate chip cookies addition.

Okay, that was a necessary long title because I wanted to use those particular words in that particular order to describe what this post was about.

So, almost like it was a title. 😅

Also, I just found out I can but emojis into my blog posts now. MUAHAHAHA. I'm just kidding, you'll probably just find the same 3 emojis over and over and over again because I'm redundant in my emoji-ing.

I made these cookies because I decided to, but I didn't have a recipe. I looked online, got a base idea and then adapted it to make it work for me (and my married student housing pantry).

ENJOY!
Pro Tip: Do not eat all the batter, for you need it to produce cookies. And always drink with milk.

Step 1: Ingredients

• 2-1/2 sticks of butter/margarine (soft or slightly melted)          
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 whole eggs (not half eggs)
• 3 teaspoons of vanilla (or best guess)
• 3/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1-1/2 cups chocolate chips
• 1-1/2 cups white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350F (177 Celsius).

Step 2: Mixing

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then, add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition (it should look like a white cake batter at this point). Stir in vanilla.

Mix in flour, salt, and baking powder well. Then, add cocoa powder and mix until smooth. 

Add chocolate chips and white chocolate chips, stir with a spatula or spoon (works better than a hand mixer for this step).

Taste the batter.

Make balls (approx. 1TBS- 2TBS of batter per ball), and add to lined or greased cookie sheet.

Pro Tip: Make sure they are far enough apart that they won't melt together. 

Step 3: Baking

Bake for about 10 minutes in the oven. When you take them out, let them cool a few minutes before you transfer them to the cooling rack. If you don't, they might gooey up and be hard to move.

You can keep them in the oven longer, but they will crisp up fast, so be aware of your narrow, gooey-inside window.

Step 4: Eat and Enjoy!

Pro Tip: Make sure you have a hiding place so yourself or a certain GM won't eat them all/ for breakfast. 

Also, the above picture is what happens when they are too close together. Oops. They taste the same, but they aren't as pretty. That became our pan.

The pretty cookies are reserved for neighbors, friends, and social functions. The family already knows that sometimes I'm a hot mess so they can eat the other ones. 😅
