DARK CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies image

These are the ultimate chocolate cookies. Yes, it's a bold claim, but with dark chocolate mixed in at three different steps-we'll stand behind it. First, bittersweet chocolate chips (60 percent cacao-the real plant from which chocolate is made) get melted into the butter. Then a flour mixture featuring Hershey's™ Special Dark™ cocoa powder-100 percent cacao-gets added. Finally, another 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips get stirred into the dough before baking, so every bite you take is bursting with melt-in-your-mouth bittersweet bursts. To keep all that deep, rich flavor balanced, cookies get rolled in granulated sugar before baking for a little extra sweetness and sparkle! Serve cookies with a tall glass of cold milk, and if that's not enough to satisfy your chocolate craving, nothing will be!

PRUNE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Prune Chocolate Chip Cookies image

Lower fat cookie where prunes replace some of the butter. My children actually prefer these to regular chocolate chip cookies. I always have a batch of these in the freezer for a quick snack. If you want to use white flour use 2 1/4 cups. Be careful how many you eat they can be dangerous!
