Double Rich Chocolate Cookies

Submitted by LuuvBunny

"This recipe is from the Mrs. Field's Cookie Book. These cookies are very chocolaty, very tasty. They smell like brownies when they're in the oven. The only change I made was that I did not use my electric mixer to blend in the flour and chocolate chips mixture. I just used a wooden spoon,I figured the dough would be too heavy for the mixer, I was right. Some extra elbow grease needed but well worth it."

Great, soft cookie, kinda like a brownie cookie. Remember to use natural, not Dutch cocoa in this recipe because of the baking soda. I used a mix of white, milk, semisweet and Smarties totaling 2 cups. Also threw in some nuts. Yum!
