FROSTED DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIP DROP COOKIES
This recipe came from my sister who is the best baker in my family. These cookies are the best if you like soft, doughy, sweet cookies. I have never had them with the nuts, but if you choose to include them, use only half of the chocolate chips (6oz). Having a big sweet tooth, I never understood why people would ever use UN-sweetened chocolate squares, so I tried it with semi-sweet and man were they too sweet with the frosting! I have also seen my sister use cocoa in lieu of choc. squares, but am not sure of the exact measurement. Note: I usually use 1-2 tubs of the pre-made regular vanilla frosting (not whipped), but I couldn't remember the size of the container..hence the two cups....

FROSTED DOUBLE CHOCOLATE COOKIES
Steps:
- PREHEAT oven to 375°F.
- MICROWAVE ¾ cup morsels in a small, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on HIGH (100%) power for 1 minute; STIR. Morsels may retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10 to 15-second intervals, stirring just until morsels are melted. Cool to room temperature. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.
- BEAT butter, brown sugar, sugar and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl until creamy. Beat in melted chocolate and egg. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in ¾ cup morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.
- BAKE for 8 to 9 minutes or until edges are set but centers are still slightly soft. Cool on baking sheets for 3 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. Thinly frost centers of cookies with chocolate frosting.
- FOR CHOCOLATE FROSTING:
- MICROWAVE remaining 1/2 cup morsels and butter in medium, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on HIGH power for 30 seconds; stir until smooth. Microwave at additional 10 to 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Add powdered suar and milk; stir until smooth.
Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality chocolate. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will give your cookies a rich, decadent flavor.
- Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to create a chewy cookie.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. The centers should be slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
These Frosted Double Chocolate Cookies are the perfect treat for any chocolate lover. They are rich, chewy, and decadent, with a creamy chocolate frosting that takes them to the next level. Whether you are enjoying them with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee, these cookies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
