UPDATED to ALMOST PERFECTION, Triple Chocolate Cookie Balls!!!



TRIPLE CHOCOLATE COOKIE BALLS@Sherry Watton
Preheat Oven to 350

½ cup Butter(softened)
½ cup Brown Sugar and ½ cup White Sugar
½ cup of Cocoa
2 eggs
2 cups of Flour(just the regular All-Purpose Flour)
2tsp Baking Powder
½ cup of Mini Chocolate Chips(I like Semi Sweet! I use Mini Chips, for little kids, you get more chips in a bite)

Cream the Butter and the Sugars, once well blended, add the Cocoa, cream again, then add the eggs and cream again…..NICE AND CREAMY!!!

In another bowl have the flour and B. Powder mixed together. Add the dry ingredients to the wet. When its almost thoroughly mixed, I add the Chocolate Chips. Mix it all, it will get hard to mix after awhile, all thick and NICE!! Then I make balls…grab some and roll it in your hands(to stop the sticking to your fingers(if it happens at all) I dust my fingers with  Cocoa Powder). I make 30 Balls…(TimBit size)but  if YOU want BIGGER balls…you want bigger Balls…just remember to adjust your time for BAKING. I have adjusted my baking time to 8 minutes…I still want them soft, like brownie consistency …..then let them cool. If you have a WIRE RACK, great, if not its OK! Wire racks will allow the melted chocolate to drip through.

CHOCOLATE COATING: In the microwave(cause I have that button to melt chocolate) 1 cup of Mini Chocolate Chips(in a Ziploc Bag), then add 1tbsp of Veg. Oil, for glossiness…smush it all together, so its well incorporated.

OR: Melt the chocolate chips & oil in a small pot, just on low heat, stir occasionally so it doesn’t burn!!

NOW, snip the tip of the Ziploc Bag and drizzle/zig zag over the Balls!! OR, if using a pot to melt the chocolate, use a spoon and drizzle the chocolate over the cookies…..then after add some sprinkles or whatever you have…or nothing at all!! Mostly I do the sprinkles for the kids.  Put in the FRIDGE to HARDEN for an hour….roughly!! ENJOY!
