Description
A delicious recipe for double chocolate chip cookies that are soft and chewy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder, optional
- 2 tablespoons milk + more as needed (no more than 1/4 cup total)
- 2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
- Sea salt for garnish, optional
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugars with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl, then blend again until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder, if using.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until almost combined.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of milk and 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips. If the dough is very thick, add more milk as needed.
- Cover and chill the dough for at least 3 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld.
- Let the dough soften at room temperature for 10-20 minutes, then preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop the dough into 2-3 tablespoon-sized balls and place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 3 inches of space between each cookie.
- Press the remaining chocolate chips onto the tops and sprinkle with sea salt, if using.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
- Chill the dough to ensure the cookies retain their shape and bake evenly.
- Check the cookies after 10 minutes to avoid overbaking.
