Marble Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup salted butter, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup white sugar

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

1 cup King Arthur Flour Unbleached White Whole Wheat Flour 

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 cup Saco premium cocoa powder

1 bag Ghirardelli dark chocolate chips

Step 1: Cookie Dough

Wet bowl: 

In a large bowl, beat the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together until well incorporated. Add eggs and vanilla extract and continue beating for about a minute until fluffy. Set bowl aside.

Dry bowl:

In a separate bowl add all-purpose flour, unbleached white whole wheat flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix well with a fork.

Combining ingredients:

Add dry bowl ingredients to wet bowl slowly; mixing with a fork until dough forms. Keep dry bowl around for next step.

Separate dough

Separate dough into two equal halves and set in two bowls.

Add Saco premium cocoa powder to one of the bowls to make cocoa dough

Add Saco premium cocoa powder to one of the bowls and mix into dough with a fork. Make sure to really incorporate the cocoa into the dough evenly. Add half of the chocolate chips to this bowl and fold them into dough.

Add the second half of the chocolate chips to the plain cookie dough.

Fold them into the dough.

Step 2: Putting the cookies together

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Form marble dough by adding one part plain dough to one part cocoa dough. This is really easy, just push the two dough parts together and flatten on the pan.

Step 3: Bake Cookies

Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-14 min or until slightly golden, yet firm - depends on how thick/large you make your cookies and if you want your cookies hard or soft. Once cookies are finished, remove from oven and let them sit out for about 10 minutes to cool, then remove from pan. I usually just take the parchment paper off of the pan and let the cookies sit on the counter for another 10 minutes. Store in an air-tight container. For soft, chewy cookies, store cookies on counter or in pantry. Cookies should last 4-5 days.
