Recipe: Triple Threat
This cookie was inspired by a recipe by Dorie Greenspan, one of my favorite food writers.

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (my favorite natural cocoa powder comes from Penzey's)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 sticks (8 oz) unsalted butter at room temperature
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
16 oz best quality bittersweet chocolate bars, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup cacao nibs

Preheat your over to 375 degrees.

In a big yellow bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda and cocoa. Whisk to combine and aerate.

With a stand or hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars. Beat in the vanilla, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. On low, add your dry ingredients and mix until just combined. With a wooden spoon or spatula, add the chopped chocolate and cacao nibs.

Spoon the dough (about a tablespoon) onto baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes. They may still be a little soft, but allow to cool on the pan for a minute before transferring to a rack to cool completely.

Yields about 4 dozen cookies.
