Double Chocolate Fruit and Nut Cookies

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/3 cup cocoa
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp chili powder

3 cups chocolate chips: milk, dark, white combo

1 cup chopped nuts (if your family will allow it!)
3/4 cup raisins (if you add these your cookie will taste like a Cadbury Fruit and Nut Bar!)Preheat oven to 375F.
Lightly spray baking sheets with vegetable oil spray.

In small bowl, whisk together to thoroughly combine all dry ingredients. Set aside.

In medium mixing bowl, using electric mixer cream butter and sugar and brown sugar.
Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Add vanilla and continue mixing for another minute or two.

If using a Kitchenaid mixer, gradually add in dry ingredients. If using hand held mixer, abandon it now and stir dry ingredients in with a wooden spoon.

Stir in chocolate chips.

Using a #2 Pampered Chef scoop, portion cookie dough and place on prepared baking tray leaving enough room for each cookie to spread. If you don’t have a #2 scoop, roll cookie dough into walnut sized balls and place on baking tray; slightly flatten each ball with your finger.

Bake in 375F oven for 5 minutes, rotate baking trays and continue baking for another 4 to 5 minutes.

Remove from oven and transfer cookies to cooling racks to cool completely.

Go on, pour a glass of milk and eat a few straight outta the oven!
Guaranteed these to be addictive when cool!
Enjoy!
