Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

With the holidays approaching fast, this is the time I take to pre-make cookies. I do them in big batches, and freeze raw once I am ready to use them, we remove from freezer, set on baking sheet on counter for an hour or until thawed then proceed to cook at normal temperature. This has saved me SOOOO much time on the holidays when I am VERY busy with cooking other things (tamales, and such) wrapping gifts, and just plain old hanging with my family. 
You Will Need:
1/2 Cup Butter, Softened
1 Cup Sugar 
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp Salt
1 Egg, Room Temp
1/3 Cup Cocoa Powder 
2 tbsp Milk
1 3/4 Cup All-Purpose Flour
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
1 Cup Chocolate Chips 
Cream the sugar, butter and vanilla together. Add egg and beat to combine. Add milk and cocoa powder and slowly combine together (the cocoa powder will puff all over you unless you go slow! I have learned my lesson haha)!

Add flour, and baking powder, mix until all the flour is no longer visible. Add chocolate chips (and walnuts if you choose too) 

I use an ice cream scoop to scoop even amounts onto a baking sheet lined with unbleached parchment paper.

Bake at 350 degrees for 14-18 minutes. Once cooled enough, dip the tops in powder sugar. There are chewy and taste much like brownies.
