From: Taste of Home
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
1/3 cup baking cocoa
2 Tbsp milk
1 3/4 cups AP flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugars and vanilla. Beat in egg. Add cocoa and milk. Combine flour and baking powder; fold into creamed mixture with walnuts and chocolate chips. Roll teaspoonfuls of dough into balls; place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
Verdict:
Thumbs UP!! Since finding this recipe two weeks ago I've made these cookies FOUR TIMES!!! And I still haven't been able to take a picture of them - they get gone too fast! Trust me when I say these cookies are divine, and loved by everyone who tastes them! A definite new favorite of ours!
P.S. My husband recommends that you put a layer of chocolate frosting in between two cookies. Because there just isn't enough chocolate already in these cookies.

Double Chocolate Cookies
Ingredients:
1 (12-oz) package semisweet chocolate chunks
2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
10 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp instant coffee granules (Go here for free samples of instant coffee)
1 1/2 tsp vanilla

Melt chocolate in microwave for 30 seconds. Stir. Repeat until smooth. Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Cream butter with sugars until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time; then stir in coffee granules and vanilla until well blended.

Stir in melted chocolate. Using wooden spoon, stir in dry ingredients just until blended. Cover and let stand for 35 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes.

What I did differently from the recipe:
I halved it, and used some semisweet chocolate chips and some baking chocolate. Other than that, nothing.
What I'll do differently next time:
Same as above.
Verdict:
Thumbs up! Very good and so easy to make! These had kind of a brownie texture to them, which I liked. Tasty!

Chocolate Cherry Cookies
Ingredients:
1 box Devils Food Cake mix
1 1/2 cup cherry pie filling
1 tsp almond extract
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Mix all ingredients well by hand. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.

Remove from cookie sheet and let cool. Frost with icing if desired. Don't store in an airtight container - they might be too soft.
What I did differently from the recipe:
Nothing.
What I'll do differently next time:
Nothing.
Verdict:
Neutral. I won't be making these again but for some reason they're strangely addictive! I bet I ate a dozen of these even though I didn't think they were fabulous. They were definitely easy, that's for sure. I think it's the consistency that gets me - they're really soft. Like I said though, very easy to make and easy to snack on. They're just not something I'd make in the future probably.
