Craving something rich and chocolaty? These double chocolate cookies are irresistibly fudgy and loaded with chocolate chips, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy these decadent double chocolate cookies with a glass of milk for the ultimate treat!

Tips:

  • For an extra gooey center, underbake the cookies slightly by a minute or two.
  • Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for a sweet and salty flavor combo.

FAQs:

  1. Can I use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet?
    Absolutely! Dark chocolate chips will add a richer, less sweet flavor to the cookies.
  2. How do I store these cookies?
    Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  3. Can I freeze the cookie dough?
    Yes, freeze the cookie dough in scoops on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding an extra minute or two.
  4. Why are my cookies spreading too much?
    If your cookies are spreading too much, try chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading.
  5. Can I add nuts or other mix-ins?
    Definitely! Feel free to add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even white chocolate chips for a fun twist.

These double chocolate cookies are the ultimate indulgence for chocolate lovers, packed with rich cocoa flavor and melty chocolate chips. Perfect for any occasion!
