Chocolatey Chocolatey Cookies :)

So I made both of these cookie recipes recently.  I'm actually not a huge cookie fan, but thought they were good, and the others who ate them raved about them.  (Mine did not come out looking like the pictures from the original recipes, so I am using their pictures so you can get a better idea.)  Pick your poison: Nutella or dark chocolate chip!

2 c. all-purpose flour 1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c. butter (1 stick)
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
1-1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 c. Nutella
1-1/2 c. chocolate chips

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and prep baking sheets with silpats or parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
3. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter, the sugar and the brown sugar. Add the eggs and the vanilla until combined.
4. Gradually add the flour until the mixture is combined.
5. Mix in the Nutella. Finally, add in the chocolate chips.
6. Use ice cream scoop (or just form balls) and drop on baking sheets and bake for 9-11 minutes.

3 c. powdered sugar
2/3 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/8 tsp salt
2-4 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 c. dark chocolate chips

1.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prep baking sheets with silpats or parchment paper.
2.  In a large bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar with cocoa powder and salt.
3.  Whisk in the vanilla and egg whites starting with just two.  Beat just until the batter is moistened. If it seems too thick, add another egg white, then a 4th one if it still seems too thick.  (I think 3 1/2 would have been best.)
4.  Stir in the chocolate chips.
5.  Scoop the batter (able tbsp-sized scoops) onto the prepared baking sheets.
6.  Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the tops are glossy and lightly cracked.  Allow to cool.
