My best-ever cookie: deep chocolate flavour with a lightly crisp exterior over a melt-in-your-mouth fudgy interior. So good people have begged me for the recipe for decades but I refused, saying instead they could earn more by helping me on my path to World Domination. But now I'm giving out the recipe for free...you're welcome, world!
Ingredients
1¼ cup margarine (10 oz, do not substitute butter)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups All-Purpose flour (10 oz by weight, sift if necessary)
¾ cups regular powdered cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups chocolate chips (60% Ghiradelli recommended, plus extra if needed at the end)
Method
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Soften the margine, but DO NOT MELT.
Cream margarine and sugar thoroughly.
Beat in eggs and vanilla. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Combine thoroughly.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix thoroughly.
Add chocolate chips. Combine thoroughly.
Refrigerate dough for at least ½ hour to firm up.
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased non-stick cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 F for 16 minutes or until bottoms start to brown slightly. Do not overbake.
Add extra chocolate chips to bowl scrapings at the end as necessary.
