Soft Batch Double Chocolate Fudge Cookies

This is the last of the 2021 cookies.  I guess I saved the best for last if you consider chocolate the best.  These cookies are fudgy chocolaty goodness.  Add a little sea salt on top and the flavor just pops!  Santa will really enjoy these. 

Santa will leave lots of presents if you leave these cookies for him on Christmas Eve. 

Chocolate chips and cocoa is what makes these cookies so fudgy and good. 

While you are mixing the other ingredients start the melting process.  Start with 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips. 

Place them in a microwave safe bowl with 2 1/2 Tablespoons butter cut into pieces.  Microwave on low for 15 second intervals.  Stir between heatings.  Keep heating until the chips are all melted. Set aside and let cool a little. 

Place 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar in your mixing bowl.  

Add the 2 eggs.  Mix well.  The eggs will get a little fluffy which is good. 

Then add 2 Tablespoons room temperature milk

2 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla.  Mix this well. 

Now add the melted chocolate chips.  Be sure and scrap the sides because you want to get all that chocolate.  Mix well. 

Add 1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons of all purpose flour Mix well. 

3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt.  Mix well. 

Add another cup of semi sweet chocolate chips to the batter.  Mix well. 

Scoop onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with a little sea salt.  Place in a preheated 325 oven and bake for 15 minutes.  I know it sounds like a long time but the temperature is lower. 

These are going in the freezer for later. 

And Santa is a happy elf with these cookies.
