This is a favorite cookie recipe around here. It makes a lot of cookies too, about 8 dozen 2 inch cookies. Its a simple recipe that found in a Mennonite cookbook and tweaked a bit to our taste. I have seen this recipe out and about on the internet made with whole wheat flour, so if you prefer, you can use whole wheat. I was going to include pictures of these but I am not sure there are any left! So this picture is not of my cookies, but they look just about exactly like the picture. 
Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
Cream together.
4 eggs
Add and beat well.
4 cup flour
1 cup cocoa
2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
1 – 12 oz bag mini-chocolate chips
Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs and mix well. Add flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda, mix well.
Stir in chocolate chips.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 9 minutes. Don’t over-bake! They should still be a little soft in the centers when they come out of the oven. This is really important for these cookies, because they will get hard as rocks if you over bake the. Delicious, chocolate rocks, but kind of hard.

I’d share if I could
These look delicious! Do you think this recipe could be halved? Or could the dough, or even the cookies, freeze?
The cookies freeze very well. I have a few dozen in the frig right now! Shhh! Don’t tell! lol And of course, you can halve the recipe.
We just made these tonight. We halved the recipe and all worked out great! Yum, and thanks for the recipe
I’m so glad to hear that, Emily!
…so if they turn out hard, they’d be good for dunkin’? Like biscotti, I’m guessing~
Definitely good for dunking! DEFINITELY.
I will definitely be making some of these. How many cookies does the full recipe yield? I don’t mind a little extra…hehe.
Forget it. I should read better.
This is so chocolaty. This are perfect my kids’ daily snacks. I think I should add more chocolate chips to make it yummier.
This is perfect with a glass of hot milk. Thanks for sharing. My hubby will surely ask for more of this.
