- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips then using a large cookie scoop out 8 equally sized cookie dough balls, place them on the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten to about ½ inch in thickness. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-9 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- While the cookies are cooling make the chocolate frosting
- In a bowl melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second increments until fully melted then set aside to cool down to room temp.
- In a stand mixer using a paddle attachment cream the butter, sifted powdered sugar and cocoa powder on medium speed for 3 minutes, scraping the side from time to time.
- Add in the melted chocolate and mix on high speed, scraping down the sides from time to time. After 2-3 minutes the frosting will be smooth, and fluffy. Place the frosting in a piping bag with a Wilton 2D rosette tip, and pipe the chocolate frosting on the cooled down cookies and enjoy!
