Chocolate Sugar Cookies

These cookies, oh these cookies! I could not keep Jim away from these chocolate sugar cookies!  They are delicious and did not make it in our house for 24 hours. That says a lot as Jim is not really a cookie kind of guy…he loves pies! This recipe may have just converted him.

INGREDIENTS
1 cup of butter, softened
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup Hershey Special Dark Cocoa Powder
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup granulated sugar for rolling

DIRECTIONS
Cream together butter and brown sugar with a mixer until fluffy, this takes a few minutes.
Add in eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add vanilla and mix again.
Combine cocoa powder, flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl and whisk until combined. Slowly add the flour mixture into the butter mixture mix well. Once combined add the chocolate chips and fold into the batter using a large spoon. Remove dough from the bowl onto a large piece of Saran Wrap. Wrap dough and refrigerate dough for one hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Place the granulated sugar on a plate. Using a cookie scoop or your hands take about one tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball, roll the ball into the sugar coating all sides of the dough and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Space cookies about 2 inches apart and continue to roll the dough until dough is done. Bake for 9-10 minute, let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a couple minutes before moving them to a baking rack.
Store in an airtight container.

Enjoy!
