I am not the world's greatest chocolate fan but I do love a moist warm brownie. Go figure. When I was a little girl making my Mom and Dad's chocolate chip cookies at home, I would always make the first batch without the chocolate chips just for me. I do love cookies however, so I thought a brownie tasting cookie would be great. I am still working with the scouts so when I serve these to the scouts they have to have an outdoorsy name. These cookies are quite flat and when I added the white chips (and later white and chocolate chips for everyone else) they looked like bumps so I called them Rocks-in-the-Road Cookies.
Rocks-in-the-Road Cookies
1 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extgract
1 1/2 cups flour
2/3 cup baking cocoa
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup milk chocolate chips
Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each egg. Add vanilla. Combine flour, cocoa, soda and salt in another bowl. Slowly add to other ingredients. Mix well. Add chips until well distributed. Scoop with a small ice cream scoop onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. These cookies spread so place cookie balls at least 2 inches apart. Bake at 350ยบ F for 8 minutes. The center will still be doughy. After removing cookie sheet from oven, leave cookies on sheet to finish cooking for 2 minutes. Carefully remove from pan and let cool completely. Avoid eating them all while the chips are still warm and melted. Save some for others.
