Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups margarine
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons corn syrup
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup chopped nuts
12 ounces (2 cups) semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the margarine and sugar. Add the corn syrup, eggs, and vanilla, then blend well. Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture. Stir in the nuts and the chocolate chips. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing well apart. Bake for about 10 minutes. Do not overbake. Cookies will be soft and puffy when you take them out, but they will flatten when cool.

Note:
Conceived by combining a brownie recipe with a chocolate chip cookie recipe, this is a creation for the chocolate fanatics among us — deep, rich chocolate through and through. Watch carefully while baking; these cookies burn easily.
