Ingredients
- 1 cup All Purpose Flour
- 8 tbsp Unsalted Butter, room temperature
- ⅓ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- ¾ cup Chocolate Chips, semi sweetened
- ½ cup Granulated Sugar, use ⅓ cup for a slightly milder sweetness
- ½ cup Brown Sugar, light or dark
- 1½ tsp Vanilla Extract
- ¾ tsp Baking Soda
- ½ tsp Salt
Instructions
To Make Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Start by sifting all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda into a bowl. This ensures a smooth, clump-free mixture.
- Take a whisk and gently mix these sifted ingredients together. Once done, keep this bowl aside for later use.
- In another bowl, it's time to create the sweet base. Mix room temperature butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat them together until they're well combined and the texture is even.
- Next, add in the room temperature egg along with a splash of vanilla extract. Beat these at a lower speed until the mixture turns smooth and adopts a creamy consistency.
- Now, slowly introduce the reserved dry ingredients to this buttery mix. Use your electric beater on a low setting to do this. Don't worry if the dough looks a bit sticky at this stage; it's all part of the process.
- The chocolatey magic happens now: fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they're evenly spread throughout the dough.
- This dough needs a little rest. Wrap it in plastic and let it chill in the refrigerator. This should take at least 2 hours, but it's a crucial step for perfect cookies.
- When you're ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F. Use a cookie scoop to shape dough balls from the chilled dough, placing them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Remember to leave about 2 inches of space between each ball. Bake for about 11-12 minutes, aiming for cookies with set edges but a center that's still a bit soft and doughy.
- Once baked, remove them from the oven and let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for a short rest – about 5 to 10 minutes should do. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To Serve
- Serve these irresistible Double Chocolate Chip Cookies with a warm glass of milk or as a delightful dessert at any festive occasion. Enjoy!

Chef's Notes and Tips
Here are some expert tips to perfect your Double Chocolate Chip Cookies:
Preparing the Ingredients:
- Measure Flour Precisely: Achieve consistent results by scooping flour into your measuring cup and leveling it off with a knife.
- Room-Temperature Wet Ingredients: Ensure eggs, butter, and vanilla essence are at room temperature for smooth blending.
Baking Basics:
- Mixing Technique: Utilize the electric beater at the lowest speed to combine flour with the egg-butter-sugar mixture. Avoid over-mixing for better texture.
- Chill the Dough: Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours to allow the cocoa-added dough to set, preventing a sticky consistency. This step also prevents over-spreading, ensuring your cookies turn out thicker and chewier. For the best results, consider chilling the dough overnight.
- Even Dough Portions: Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies, ensuring consistent baking and avoiding over or undercooked batches.
- Baking Guidelines: Bake at the recommended temperature for 11-12 minutes. Cookies should be set at the edges but remain soft in the center. Allow them to rest on the baking tray for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This process ensures they stay soft and chewy.
Customization:
- Extra Chocolate Chips: For a visually appealing touch, add more chocolate chips on top of the warm cookies.
