If you're like me you spend most of the day trying to think "What's for dinner?". Sometimes I want to try something new or even just remember a good family favorite. I created this blog as a quick and easy way to help jog my memory and to share our family favorites across the web. My sister-in-law Marie and I post some of our most successful recipes with pictures. Bon Appetite!

Double Chocolate Cookies


When only twice as much chocolate is needed these treats hit the spot!

Cookies:

2 sticks butter
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2-3 TBS cocoa powder
3 cups flour

Mix all together well. ** 
Drop by tablespoon on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 8 minutes. 

Frosting:

6 TBS butter
1/3 cup milk
2 TBS cocoa
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups powdered sugar

Cook butter, milk, cocoa until just before a boil. Remove from heat and add the vanilla. Pour over the sugar in a bowl and wish until well incorporated. Spoon over warm cookies. 

**Optional
Instead of frosting the cookies stir in chocolate chips before baking. Try white, peanut butter, mint or good ole milk chocolate.
