I was having a massive chocolate attack last weekend, so I came up with this. I am normally not crazy about raisins in my cookies but I like them when paired with nuts and chocolate. This started as your standard basic chocolate chip cookie recipe, but you wouldn't know it by the end result. Ingredients:
1/2 cup margarine, softened |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
3/4 cup sugar |
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed |
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 1/2 cups flour |
1/2 cup white chocolate chips |
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips |
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips or 1/2 cup m&m |
1/2 cup chocolate-covered nuts (cashews) |
1/4 cup raisins |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F 2. Beat butter, sugars, cocoa,baking soda, and salt in a large bowl on medium speed for 3 minutes or until fluffy. 3. Beat in eggs and vanilla until well blended. Gradually add in flour while mixing on low speed. Mix until well-blended. 4. Stir in the chocolate chips, nuts, and raisins. 5. Form balls of dough measuring 1 1/2 - 2 inches in diameter, and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten the balls slightly with the palm of your hand. 6. Bake for 12-14 minutes (don't overbake or they might be dry). 7. Cool on cookie sheets for about 2 minutes before moving them to wire racks to finish cooling. |
