Jeff's Favorite Chocolate Cookies

I adapted this recipe from ambitiouskitchen. This is a crowd-pleaser for sure! My kids will ask for this instead of regular chocolate chip cookies. Jeff loves them too. He's not all that into baked desserts, but he'll eat these by the handful.

Ingredients:
  • 2 cup all purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened special dark cocoa powder (the secret is using the dark cocoa powder)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 Tbs vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Cream oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Spoon onto baking pan and slightly flatten the dough ball. Bake 8-10 minutes. Bring out of oven before they look done because they will continue baking as they cool. I take mine out at 9 minutes. This recipe makes about 36 cookies.
