Here is a great recipe for chocolate chocolate chip cookies. It's easy to follow and will certainly deliver great tasting results.

Ingredients:

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 brown sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups flour
2/3 cup cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups chocolate chips

1. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter until it is smooth. Mix in the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat on high until it is light, fluffy, and completely combined. A stand mixer is the easiest, but you can use a hand mixer or just mix it with a wooden spoon.
2. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix thoroughly. Do not beat it on high or mix it too long. You don't want to add a lot of air because this will cause spongy cookies.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Use a sifter or a whisk to combine it completely and remove the lumps.
   
4. Slowly add the flour to the wet ingredients. Add about 1/2 cup at a time and mix it in thoroughly. Do not beat vigorously or on high or you will get flour everywhere and not in the cookie dough where it should be.
5. Chill the dough for about 1 to 2 hours if possible.
   
6. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
7. Drop by rounded teaspoonful onto an ungreased cookie sheet spacing the dough about 2 inches apart. You can also form them into balls with your hands, but try not to handle them too much.
8. Bake the cookies in the oven for about 8 to 10 minutes. Sometimes it's hard to tell if chocolate cookies are finished baking because they won't brown. They should look set and not wet and jiggly.
9. Let them cool on the pan for a few minutes and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These chocolate chocolate chip cookies will be a real hit for any party. They also make a great gift for the chocoholics you know. Try this chocolate chocolate chip cookie recipe once and you'll find yourself making them many more times.
