FROSTED DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIP DROP COOKIES

This recipe came from my sister who is the best baker in my family. These cookies are the best if you like soft, doughy, sweet cookies. I have never had them with the nuts, but if you choose to include them, use only half of the chocolate chips (6oz). Having a big sweet tooth, I never understood why people would ever use UN-sweetened chocolate squares, so I tried it with semi-sweet and man were they too sweet with the frosting! I have also seen my sister use cocoa in lieu of choc. squares, but am not sure of the exact measurement. Note: I usually use 1-2 tubs of the pre-made regular vanilla frosting (not whipped), but I couldn't remember the size of the container..hence the two cups....

Yield 1 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate squares
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk

1 (12 ounce) package chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
2 cups vanilla frosting

Steps:

  • Add to chocolate mix alternatively with milk.
  • Mix well.

  • Use teaspoons to drop onto ungreased cookie sheet. (I like bigger cookies so I use tablespoons.).

Tips:

  • For fudgier cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • To make sure the cookies are evenly baked, rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking time.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to spread the frosting on the cookies.
  • For a fun twist, try sprinkling chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or sprinkles on top of the frosting.

Conclusion:

These Frosted Double Chocolate Cookies are the perfect treat for any chocolate lover. They're fudgy, chewy, and have the perfect amount of sweetness. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect finishing touch, and it takes these cookies to the next level.
