List of Ingredients
Chocolate Chip Crisscross Cookies
1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (omit if you are using salted butter)
1 cup chocolate chips (any flavor)
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Beat butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well.
In a separate bowl, stir together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt (if using). Gradually beat into butter mixture. Stir in chocolate chips.
Use 1 heaping teaspoon of dough for each cookie. Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place on foil-lined cookie sheet. Flatten balls with tines of fork. Flatten again in opposite direction, forming crisscross marks.
Bake 8 to 9 minutes or just until cookies are set. Do not over bake: cookies will be soft. Cool slightly (about 5 minutes); remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
Makes about 6 dozen cookies.
