Andrea “Andy” is one of my favorite cousins and best friends. She is the most amazing 21 year old woman that I have ever met. Andy has the biggest heart and is always serving other people. She not only did she volunteer 3 summers at an orphanage in Poland but she is currently volunteering for an entire year at a woman’s shelter in Arizona. I personally was rooting for Andy to be in Ohio because I knew I would miss her way too much, but I know that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her. So I have to put my selfishness aside and try to be happy for her. Andy is a die-hard Sabre and Notre Dame fan (as every Gadawski must be) and will kick your ass if you talk badly about them. I miss Andy so much and am literally counting down the days (333) until she comes back home
It was somewhat easy to pick a recipe for Andy’s cookies because she doesn’t like, wait let me rephrase that, she will not eat fruits or vegetables, so choosing a chocolate chocolate chip seemed only natural!!! Enjoy Andy- love you!!!
Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies I by: KATHY

"These cookies are great...you get a double dose of chocolate! My kids love them."
Original Recipe Yield 4 dozen
Ingredients
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup cocoa powder
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In large bowl, beat butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; stir into the butter mixture until well blended. Mix in the chocolate chips and walnuts. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or just until set. Cool slightly on the cookie sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
*** I used the following alternate suggestions for this recipe***
1. Instead of 1 ½ Cups White Sugar, I used 1 Cup White Sugar and ½ Cup Brown Sugar
2. I did not use the walnuts (I guess I just don’t like nuts and usually don’t put them in…. sorry guess maybe I should start- but I thought Andy wouldn’t want them in this one)
3. I let the dough cool in the fridge for an hour before baking the cookies.
4. I made the cookies a little larger, only made 3 dozen instead of 4, and cooked them for approximately 10 minutes. They turned out so soft!!!
