These cookies are addictive! A delicious chocolate cookie loaded with vanilla and chocolate chips, dusted with powdered sugar.

2 cups white sugar
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoons salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup white/vanilla chips
½ cup confectioners’ sugar

Cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time then stir in vanilla. Add cocoa slowly making sure to mix well. Combine flour, baking powder and salt and add into the mixture. Stir in chips. Batter will be sticky. Cover dough and chill for at least 4 hours to make handling easier.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line 2 - 3 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Roll dough into balls, coat with powdered sugar and place on cookie sheet. If necessary place dough back in the refrigerator for a few minutes to make handling easier.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Best not to over-bake.
