These are my absolute favorite chocolate chip cookies...with a little extra chocolate! 

Preheat oven to 350°F.                             Baking Time: 8-10 minutes


Ingredients

Large Bowl

 In large bowl, beat 1/2 cup butter (softened), 3/4 cup white sugar, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until light and fluffy. 

Medium Bowl

Combine the 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Once blended, preferably with a whisk, fold in 1 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips. (or whatever you prefer, mini M&M's are a great substitute)

Lastly
 stir the medium bowl mixture into the large bowl mixture until well blended.( I like to make a well in the middle of the large bowl mixture, and fold in the medium bowl mixture ). I like to spoon my cookies out by the tablespoon, roll them in my hand and squish them down with a fork onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

Once they came out of the oven, I add a sprinkle of shredded coconut. It's delicious.

I hope everyone can enjoy!
