US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Cream together 1½ cup butter, 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Add 2 large eggs and 2 teaspoon vanilla extract, stirring to combine.
  • Stir in 3 cups all purpose flour, 1 cup cocoa powder, 2 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt until combined. The dough will be a little bit soft.
  • Use a small cookie scoop to portion out about 1 Tablespoon of dough onto the sheet pan. Leave 2 inches between cookies.
  • Bake 7-9 minutes or until the tops look just set.
  • Quickly press a chocolate melting wafer just off center in each hot cookie. Then arrange 3-4 chocolate chips for the toes.
  • Allow the cookies to cool at least 5 minutes before removing them from the pan.

Notes

Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Freeze for longer storage. 
If you would like to roll your cookie dough balls in sugar before you bake them, you can. Powdered sugar will make them look like chocolate crinkle cookies while granulated sugar will give them a little bit more crunch.
