Chocolate Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yes, really. And they are delicious. Oh man, so freaking delicious.

They are also, I'm happy to say, my own creation of awesomeness. They are legen... wait for it... (sorry I am watching How I Met Your Mother while typing this).

The Cookies of Awesome
2 cups flour
5/8tsp baking soda (yea... really 5/8)
3/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 and 3/4 sticks butter (let sit out.. easier to mash)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup light brown sugar
1/4-1/3 of a cup Ghirardelli Chocolate Hazelnut cocoa mix.
2 eggs
10oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1tbs water (alternatively try 1tsp vanilla, 2tsp water)
Sea salt.

Mix all of the sugar and butter together in a bowl, set aside.
Mix flour, baking powder+soda, and salt together in a separate bowl.

Mix the two eggs in with the sugar and butter.

Slowly mix (in batches) the flour mixture into the egg/butter/sugar mixture. Add the water/vanilla. When this is all mixed in, add the Ghiradelli's cocoa mix. Stir until the entire thing is homogenous. Now mix in the chocolate chips.

Refridgerate for at least one hour.

Preheat the oven to 375, and take the mix out of the fridge. Stir a bit to make it easier to use. Make balls of the mix on a nonstick baking tray, 12 on a tray. You will have enough for 36 cookies. Before putting into the oven, sprinkle a small bit of sea salt on the top of each ball, seriously.

Bake for 12 minutes!
