Week 5 Part I

Double Chocolate Drops ☆☆☆ [pg 104 HFC]
While stirring together these easy Double Chocolate Drop Cookies, I realized some of the measurements didn't seem right. Certainly they didn't need 3/4 Tablespoon salt or 1 Tablespoon of vanilla, so I went back to an old edition of the family cookbook to check the recipe. These measurements should be 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon vanilla and I had a note next to this recipe in my old book—Very Good. So it seems I have made this recipe before, which means I sort of cheated this week.

The dough is very sticky and I recommend using a cookie scoop to shape these cookies. I made them with a 3/4 inch scoop so the cookies were a nice small size. They are very good and I give them a five. They are more cake like than regular chocolate chip cookies and even though they are double chocolate they are not too much chocolate. I have made these with mini chocolate chips before and they are good with either size chip.
