Description
Decadent, fudgy, and packed with double the chocolate, these Double Chocolate Chip Cookies are a dream come true for any chocolate lover.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (or milk chocolate, if preferred)
Instructions
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough will be thick.
- Stir in the chocolate chips: Fold in both the semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop the dough: Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Don’t worry if they look a little underbaked—they’ll firm up as they cool.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Enjoy your double chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or just on their own!
Notes
- If using salted butter, reduce or omit the added salt in the recipe to avoid making the cookies too salty.
- For extra texture, you can fold in chopped nuts like walnuts, pecans, or hazelnuts.
- For a minty twist, add 1/2 teaspoon of mint extract and use mint chocolate chips in place of dark chocolate chips.
