Double Chocolate Chip Cookies - Marry Doughs and Double Your Pleasure
Ying Yang Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
I don't know why I think of baking these cookies primarily during the holidays because I think one should treat themselves all year round. Like a great marriage, one could say this combination cookie made from two different doughs were made for each other...were a match made in heaven...or simply soul mates. It's pretty much a typical Toll House recipe and then a separate Indulgent Chocolate-Chocolate Chip recipe combined. This recipe makes about 70 good size cookies so feel free to cut the recipe in half. I have them timed in the oven for an end result of a wonderful chewy cookie which draws just the right amount of sweet satisfaction from the senses. This is a cookie that is especially eye catching as well as satisfies one's sweet tooth. As a bonus, you can certainly only bake one of the recipes but you won't get the ying-yang effect.

Forming the Two-Dough Cookie:
1. To form a cookie, take an equal amount (your desired amount) from each dough bowl and join together trying not to mix the two types too much together as you want to see a good definition of each dough. Gently shape in your hands a somewhat circular form (not a ball so much) and place on a prepared (prepared with baking spray or parchment paper) cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees in a preheated oven for about 12 minutes. Some ovens heat differently, so I recommend checking on your cookies at the 10 minute mark and when you start seeing a little darker edge on the light side of the cookie, your cookies are ready to take out of the oven. Remember that cookies continue to cook even when you take them out of the oven. Wait about five minutes before removing them from the cookie sheet.
