Overwhelming Chocolate Cookies (Autism Cookies)

Ingredients

  • INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar tightly packed
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup bread flour (if you only have all purpose on hand you can use that!)
  • 1 cups and 1/4 cocoa powder I prefer to do a mix of regular and dark cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 cups of "stuff" of your choice

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • 2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter until light and creamy. Add in sugar and brown sugar and beat until well combined. Add in eggs, one at a time, mixing until each is fully incorporated into batter. Add in vanilla and mix.
  • 3. In a separate bowl, combine flours, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Slowly add dry mixture to wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Stir in your stuff.
  • 4. Using a large cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough onto baking sheet. A large cookie scoop holds about 3 tablespoons of cookie dough. Space dough at least 2" apart.
  • 5. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes. Cookies should be starting to firm up but still soft in the middle. Remove from oven and allow to cool on pan on a wire rack for at least five minutes. Repeat with remaining dough. Allow to cool completely prior to storing. Store in an airtight container. Tip: Storing with a slice of sandwich bread really helps keep your cookies soft!
  • Yield: Makes approximately 24 cookies.
