Double Chocolate Cookies
This recipe uses the same base as my classic chocolate chip cookie with just two added ingredients to make them super easy! They have an incredible chewy base that reminds me of the consistency of a brownie while also keeping that nostalgic flavor of a perfectly simple chocolate chip cookie. Feel free to add any extra additions like white chocolate, walnuts, or even peanut butter chips to make them your own!
Ingredients
Method
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using an electric hand mixer), whip the room temperature butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (~3-5 minutes on medium speed)
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until combined
- Scrape the bowl down with a rubber spatula and continue mixing to ensure that everything is well incorporated
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together all of the dry ingredients
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just combined
- Mix in the chocolate chips until they’re evenly distributed. It won’t look like a lot of chocolate but don’t worry, we’ll add more to the top when they come out of the oven!
- Scoop out the dough using a larger cookie dough scoop (this is a #20 scoop which is also 1.5 ounces). I typically do a heaping scoop in order to get 14 cookies per batch.
- Place the cookies in an airtight container or wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight (overnight is preferred as it will lock in the flavor and will help them bake perfectly)
- Once you’re ready to bake the cookies, pull them out of the fridge, preheat the oven to 350℉, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Place the cookies a few inches apart from one another on the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes
- When the cookies come out of the oven, you can take a large circle cookie cutter reshape the cookies a little by moving the cookie cutter in a fast circle motion around each cookie while they're still very hot. This will make them perfect circles and add a little thickness to them.
- If you would like, while the cookies are still hot, gently push 4-5 chocolate chips on top of each cookie
- I prefer to serve them warm but you don't have to! If you would like to save them for later, store them at room temperature in an airtight container or Ziploc bag for up to 3 days.
