This week I chose to make these cookies from the new Holiday Taste of Home Magazine. I love this time of year when all the holidays start, although, I wish it didn't come and go so fast. I made these cookies three days ago and they are still chewy in the middle. I am guessing that it is from the 2 1/2 sticks of butter it uses!! Oh well, I didn't say that they were healthy! :)
My one gadget that I have to have when I am making cookies is my little cookie scoop. I use it with almost every cookie that I make, unless it is a slice and bake, but you know, sometimes I am a little impatient to let my dough chill, and I use the scoop anyway. With this batch of dough, I got 6 dozen cookies out of it! So, if you need a good cookie that makes alot, this one is it!

Chewy Chocolate Cookies
1 1/4 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
Combine flour, cocoa,, baking soda and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 350 degrees for 8-9 minutes or until edges are set. Cool on pans for 1 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

I think we like the same kinds of cookies. I love a chocolate chocolate chip cookie! These look great! And I love a cookie scoop too!
All that butter, it has to be good and chocolate always goes over big in my house!!
You just cant go wrong with a good chewy chocolate cookie. I love my cookie scoop too. We even use them at work when where making (we call it balling) our 450 cookies!
6 dozen cookies? Wow! I like a chewy cookie and lots of chocolate is always good.
Oooh, I'm going to have to make these!
I love chewy chocolate cookies! I have been wanting to buy the TOH cookie magazine. I bet it's a great source for cookies and bars.
You had me at "chewy" - these look wonderful!
This will be a great one to add to my Christmas Cookies. I too love the ice cream scoop, it has really made cookie baking so much easier!

Chewy chocolate chip cookies are my oldest daughter's favorite. I will have to surprise her with these!
Nothing like a good old fashioned chocolate cookie.
I use my cookie scoop for just about all cookies, because my slice and bakes never come out round. I don't know what shape it would be classified under.
