Preheat oven to 350 degrees

1. In large bowl, cream softened butter with shortening to blend, scraping down sides of bowl often. Blend in granulated and brown sugars and salt. If the brown sugar is lumpy, sift after measuring.

2. Stir in beaten eggs and vanilla (plus water for high altitude only.)

3. In smaller bowl, VERY SLOWLY stir together flour, cocoa (sifted), and baking soda. Mix into batter varefully with spatula or wooden spoon. It becomes VERY THICK! When almost mixed, stir in whipping cream. Fold in all chocolate.

4. Drop by GENEROUS tablespoons onto parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. (12 cookies per sheet) Flatten a little with WET hands...not too thin. Leave some space as they spread out. Bake at 350 degrees until cookies look barely set--middles will seem slightly wet--about 12 minutes. (High altitude,15 min. max!) They'll be slightly soft, but get crisper as they cool. Bake 1 sheet at a time. Hold onto parchment paper when removing cookie sheet from oven! It's slippery!

5. Slide sheet with cookies to counter top to cool. Store in plastic container. They freeze beautifully.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
