Description
These double chocolate chip cookies are rich, chewy, and packed with gooey chocolate goodness. Perfect for any chocolate lover, they’re quick to make and always a crowd-pleaser! (for 12 cookies)
Ingredients
- 120 g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter – melted and cooled
- 50 g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar
- 80 g (1/3 cup) brown sugar
- 1 large egg – room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 195 g (1 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 25 g (1/4 cup) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp fine salt
- 150 g (3/4 cup) dark chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix and sift together the dry ingredients: flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, place the melted and cooled butter, white sugar, and brown sugar, and mix with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla, and beat again until fully incorporated.
- Finally, add the dry ingredients and chocolate chips, and gently fold them in using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until the dough is well combined.
- Form cookie dough balls using an ice cream scoop and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart (6-8 cookies per batch).
- Bake the cookies immediately for about 12 minutes, until the edges are firm but the centers are still slightly soft (they will continue cooking after being removed from the oven).
- Let the chocolate cookies cool on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a cooling rack or plate.
Sprinkle a bit of sea salt on top and enjoy!
Notes
Storage: Store in an airtight container up to 1 week at room temperature or freeze baked cookies or dough up to 3 months.
Tips:
- Use very soft or melted and cooled butter for a smooth dough and soft texture.
- Mix just until combined to keep cookies tender and avoid dense dough.
- Bake immediately after mixing for best spread and texture.
- Do not overbake; cookies should be set on the edges and slightly soft in the center.
- You can substitute baking soda with 1½ teaspoons baking powder if needed.
- For best results, use a digital scale for accurate and consistent measurements.
