I feel like I am making cookies almost every week lately! There are so many great cookie recipes out there to bake and try! I'll be sharing them all with you soon!
How to make Double Chocolate Chip Cookies:
This recipe follows the basic steps of almost all cookie recipes out there. You mix your wet ingredients separately from the dry ingredients before mixing them together.
Add in your chocolate chips, and then chill the dough.
Ingredients:
- Unsalted Butter - softened to room temperature
- Granulated Sugar and Brown Sugar
- Egg
- Vanilla Extract
- All-Purpose Flour
- Cocoa Powder
- Baking Soda
- Salt
- Semi-sweet or Milk Chocolate Chips - I used semi-sweet chips for this recipe.
Directions:
Step One - In a large mixing bowl combine butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat on low with an electric hand mixer or in a bowl of a stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Step Two - Next, add in your egg and vanilla extract. Mix on low until just combined then set aside.
Step Three - In a separate large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine and gradually add (in batches) to wet ingredients. Mix until just combined, a few lumps are okay.
Step Four - Last fold in the chocolate chips then cover the bowl with batter with plastic wrap. Place covered batter in the fridge to chill for 1-2 hours. It is important to chill the batter between the batches too.
Step Five - Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a cooking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or parchment paper. Scoop 2- 2 ½ tablespoonfuls of batter, rolling it into about 2-inch balls.
Step Six - Arrange the cookie balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper at least 2 inches apart but make sure not to press down. Optional: add more chocolate chips to the top of each cookie before baking.
Step Seven - Bake for 10-12 minutes (the time varies due to different ovens).
Step Eight - After baking, the cookies will have a soft center inside. Let the cookies stand in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Tips and FAQs:
- Don't substitute the sugars. Using both white and brown sugars are essential to these cookies. The mixture of the sugars really helps make this cookie nice and soft and they mix great with the butter.
- Chill the dough. I highly recommend chilling the dough as it really helps give the cookie a great shape and keeps them from spreading out during baking.
- Use a cookie cutter or glass for perfectly round cookies. Once the cookies come out of the oven, while they are still hot, use a round cutter or glass to help mold the cookies into perfect circles.
