Ingredients for Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Here’s everything you’ll need to make this Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • 1 cup (125g) all purpose flour
  • ½ cup (50g) cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup (100g) white sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips semi sweet or milk chocolate

How to Make Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Step One

The first thing you need to do is mix the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. This helps break up any lumps and mixes everything evenly, so the cookies bake the same way.

Step Two

Now, in a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Beat the softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy. This step adds air to the dough, which helps the cookies stay soft and light. Then, add the egg and vanilla. Crack the egg into the bowl and pour in the vanilla extract. Mix again until smooth. The egg helps the dough hold together, and the vanilla adds a sweet flavor.

Step Three

Now, combine the wet and dry ingredients. Slowly pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined, but don’t overmix. Overmixing will make the cookies hard instead of soft. Then, add the chocolate chips. Gently fold the chocolate chips in with a spoon or spatula. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step Four

Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes. This keeps the cookies thick instead of becoming too thin in the oven.

Step Five

Scoop the cookies and bake: Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Shape the dough into small balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 9-12 minutes. They may feel soft when removed from the oven, but they will firm up as they cool.
