Choc-Choc-Chip Cookies
This recipe for the most delectable chocolate chocolate chip cookie is from Marissa Rocha, and it comes to her from her mother and step-father's bakery (The Crusty Tart Bakery in Upland, California) with her own twist. These cookies will disappear in a flash, so be ready!

Ingredients
|
- 2 cups (16 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate morsels
- 2 cups (16 ounces) milk chocolate morsels
- 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick or 4 ounces) butter at room temperature
- 1/2 cup (4 ounces) shortening
- 1 cup packed brown sugar (use dark brown if you want a very rich and sweet, chewy taste)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 eggs

Directions

Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees f.
- Melt two cups of the chocolate morsels as follows: 1 cup [8 ounces] semi-sweet chocolate, 1 cup [8 ounces] milk chocolate in a double boiler (or, if you don't have a double boiler, put a stainless steel bowl with the morsels in a saucepan of boiling water and stir to melt). If you can't find milk chocolate morsels, it is ok to use all semi-sweet. It will yield a more brownie-like taste, however. Put the rest of the morsels aside for later.
- Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl. Set aside.
- Beat butter, shortening, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in large mixing bowl. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the melted chocolate. Gradually beat in the flour mixture. Stir in the remaining 2 cups (16 ounces) of chocolate morsels.
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-9 minutes or until cookies puff up. They will fall when they are cool.
Enjoy!
