How to Make Frosted Double Chocolate Chip Drop Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ½ cup shortening until light and fluffy. Gradually add 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, beating well.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time.
- In a double boiler or microwave, melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate squares. Let cool slightly.
- Stir the melted chocolate into the creamed mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with ½ cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (or 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder – adjust sweetness as needed), and ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional).
- Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are set and centers are still slightly soft. (Start checking at 8 minutes)
