Dangerous Cookies.

Remember a few weeks ago when I said I was going to made cookies on a Sunday night? Okay, probably not, but still.  I said I would give you the recipe and I just realized that I left you hanging!  Well here it is.  It's from Molly's Orangette Blog.  Making these cookies was a horribly wonderful idea, as they turned out SO WELL but they keep on finding their way into my stomach.  I'll just blame Molly and her cookies when my jeans no longer fit....

Chewy Cocoa Cookies with Chocolate Chips
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
¼ tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. salt
4 Tbsp. (½ stick) unsalted butter
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
7 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup plain yogurt, preferably not low- or nonfat
1 tsp. vanilla extract
½ cup chocolate chips, preferably Ghirardelli brand, either semisweet or bittersweet

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner.In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.Place the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl, and microwave briefly, until just melted. Add the sugars, and sift in the cocoa. (You can skip the sifting if you want, but my cocoa almost always has lumps, and I don’t like cocoa lumps in my cookies.) Stir to blend well. The mixture will be somewhat thick and pasty, like wet sand. Add the yogurt and vanilla and stir to mix thoroughly. Add the dry flour mixture, and stir to just combine. Add the chocolate chips and stir to incorporate.  Drop onto a cookie sheet and bake for 7-10 minutes.


They may not look like anything too special, but trust me, they are delicious!
