Family Hack of the Week

August 4 was National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day. Try these Double Chocolate Chip Cookies from Allrecipes for an extra fudgy and delicious chocolate lovers’ treat.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, beat 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup butter (softened), 2 eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla until light and fluffy. In a separate large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2/3 cup cocoa powder, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir in butter mixture until well blended. Mix in 2 cups chocolate chips and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.

Drop spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets 2 inches apart. Bake until cookies are set, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Cool slightly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
