How to Make Extreme Chocolate Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a large baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (sifted), 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, 1 cup margarine, softened, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, and 1 cup packed brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 large egg yolk until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours, or preferably overnight.
  7. Scoop 2 heaping tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
