MELT IN YOUR MOUTH BUTTERMILK COOKIES

MELT IN YOUR MOUTH BUTTERMILK CHOCOLATE COOKIES

These are very good!  I think they would be good with 1/2 peanut butter or vanilla chips too.  Or chocolate chunks.  Yum! Yum!

The 2nd batch I put the dough in the fridge while the other were cooking.  They turned out softer (saw where someone put on facebook if you put dough in fridge first they would turn out softer).

2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup cocoa powder
2 cups sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup buttermilk
2 cups chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.
Melt the butter in a small, microwave safe bowl.
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter (still warm) with cocoa powder and whisk until very smooth. Whisk in sugar, vanilla extract and buttermilk. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until no streaks of flour remain. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Drop dough in 1-inch balls into prepared baking sheet, leaving about two inches between cookies to allow for spread.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cookies are set around the edges.
Cool for 2-3 minutes on a baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack with a spatula to cool completely.

Makes about 4 dozen cookies
