I always thought nothing would ever replace my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. However, this chewy, fudgy cookie comes very close. Cocoa and chocolate chips make it oh so chocolatey! Also, the whipping cream and sour cream make them super moist (almost cake like!).

Instructions

Cookie Directions

  • Mix butter,brown sugar, egg, and oil. The recipe recommends using a mixer, however I did it by hand with no problem.
  • Mix in sour cream and whipping cream.
  • Mix in vanilla, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add cocoa powder.
  • Add the flour a little at a time. Then stir in chocolate chips.
  • Refrigerate dough for one hour.  Grease or spray pans with non-stick spray.
  • Drop by teaspoonfuls onto pan (I used a cookie scoop).
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes. Mine took 9 minutes. If you can lightly tap the cookies without getting any on your fingers, they're done!
  • Let them sit on the pan for 3-4 minutes, or until set.

Frosting Directions

  • Using a double boiler or saucepan melt the chocolate chips, stirring constantly so it doesn't scorch.
  • Stir in the milk, and cook 2 more minutes or until its spreadable.
  • Frost your cookies quickly, this frosting will turn fudge-like quickly!

  1. I am making these cookies right now. I can't tell if they aren't done or if they are supposed to be gooey in the middle. Do they go from gooey to chewy as they cool? I put these back in the oven for a couple of minutes because my husband told me they weren't done.
