A chocolate lovers dream cookie

This recipe comes to us from Smitten Kitchen, of course.  As a fellow chocolate lover, she has perfected the chocolate lovers dream cookie.  The recipe is perfect as written, but feel free to sub in some whole wheat flour.  You wont even notice it with all the chocolate.  Check out the recipe with picture from Smitten here or below.

The Browniest Cookies
makes 2-3 dozen cookies depending on size

1/2 cup unsalted butter
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 cup dark or light brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea or table salt
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, any kind will work
1 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup chocolate chips or bitter- or semisweet chocolate, chopped into chunks

Melt butter and unsweetened chocolate together (microwave or stovetop).

Whisk sugars into melted butter and chocolate, then eggs and vanilla. Whisk in baking soda and salt, cocoa and flour and then stir until just combined. Add chips or chocolate chunks and stir until combined.

Place bowl in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

Heat oven to 350°F.

Scoop into about 1 1/2- to 2-tablespoon sized mounds and space evenly on parchment- or nonstick baking mat-lined baking sheets, allowing room for them to spread just barely. Bake for 9-11 minutes, err on the side of under-cooked.
