This is the cookie recipe I have been waiting for. I knew it was out there, but I hadn’t had a double chocolate chip cookie since the days of the middle school snack bar. It’s a dangerously easy recipe that you can throw together before any party, picnic, or potluck. I am currently wondering if I will ever make another cookie or brownie recipe again, since these little babies are the best of both worlds.

Recipe
Double Chocolate Cookies
Adapted from Trisha Yearwood
Makes about 3 dozen cookies

Ingredients

2 sticks (1 cup) butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cocoa powder
6 ounces chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or dark are all good choices)
6 ounces white chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully combined, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix to combine. Add the vanilla and mix. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and mix. Add the white and chocolate chips; mix until just combined. Fold in the nuts, if using.

Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheets. Bake, rotating the sheets once halfway through, until the cookies are set, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Nanaimo Bars
When you are representing Canada at your own birthday party, you have to keep it real. First, you make semi-homemade poutine. Then, you make Nanaimo Bars for dessert. These things, combined with copious amounts of Kokanee, Crown, and Canadian Tuxedos…pretty much make for an unforgettable night.
Nanaimo Bars
I have been wanting to make Nanaimo bars ever since we took a weekend trip to Vancouver BC…with our cell phones out of range, we were constantly getting lost on the Canadian roads. On the way home, trying to follow road signs and still managing to get hopelessly lost, we went under a sign that read “Nanaimo” and I tried saying it…”Na-naimo? naaaa…naymo?” I am famous for pronouncing things wrong, particularly unknown towns and cities (Fife, Kittitas, and Tenino are just a few of the classics). At this point in our trip we pretty much lost it over Nanaimo and couldn’t stop laughing.
