Ingredients for Chocolate Cookies

Sugar – Brown sugar has a deeper caramel flavor and adds richness to these cookies.

Dry Ingredients – All purpose flour is the base of these cookies while baking soda and baking powder give them lift.

Chocolate – These cookies get their rich chocolatey flavor from unsweetened chocolate, which is available in the baking aisle or online.

How to Make Chocolate Cookies

Cream butter & brown sugar together & melted chocolate. Mix in eggs and milk. Whisk dry ingredients and add to the wet a bit at a time. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap & chill for 4 hours or overnight.Roll balls of dough in sugar & bake until the cookies are soft.

Storing Chocolate Cookies

Keep old-fashioned chocolate cookies in a covered container for up to 4 days. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months.

PRO TIP: For best results, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet so they can crisp up and are easier to transfer to a cooling rack.
