Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

I got this recipe from BonAppetit magazine (April 2007 issue). I have made classic chocolate chip cookies many a time but wanted to take a try at the chocolate dough ones. The magazine had this as a cookie to make ice cream sandwiches with; I just baked them and ate them alone and they were pretty good. I brought them to work and by the end of the day only crumbs were left.

2 cups all purpose flour (I substituted whole wheat flour)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 12 oz package semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Sift flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl. Use electric mixer to beat butter until fluffy. Gradually beat in both sugars. Beat in eggs one at a time, then vanilla, and dry ingredients. Stir in chips. Drop 2 big tablespoonfuls batter onto prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly. Bake until cookies are dry but soft to touch, about 20 minutes. Let cool.

Serve with cold glass of milk for dunking. Delicious!
