Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies

So you all probably heard about the major earthquake and tsunami in Japan by now. Here in Hawaii, a tsunami watch was posted and the sirens started going off. With a few hours of sleep the night before and a long bike ride on the trainer, the last thing I wanted to hear was sirens going off every hour. Luckily my ear plugs held and didn't hear anything till it was time to get up for work. Damage here on Oahu was nothing compared to what happened in Japan.  Here's a vid some tourist took in Kona Tsunami wave. Anyways, work got canceled which left me with a free day. After my last cookie fiasco, I was a little hesitant to try again but after seeing this recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies  on Nancycreative, I decided to give it a shot.

Chocolate Chip Cookies  
-1/2 cup unsalted butter
-1/2 cup sugar
-1/3 cup packed brown sugar
-1 egg
-1/2 teaspoon vanilla
-1 3/4 cup flour
-1/4 cup coco mix
-1/8 teaspoon salt
-5/8 teaspoon baking soda
-1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips

Preheat  oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugars until smooth. Add in in the eggs and vanilla and mix till combined.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, hot coco mix, salt and baking soda. Add in the wet ingredients and stir. Once all combined, fold in chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Place dough on a greased or parchment lined cookie sheet. Give enough space for cookies to expand. 
Bake for 13-15 min depending on how your oven works. Cool cookies on a wire rack. 

Times were tough before getting the Kitchenaid.
All ingredients combined. 


Fold in chocolate chips.
I don't really like to wash dishes, so that's why I opted for the parchment paper route. 
Final product. Overall, this recipe produced a total of 24 cookies.
