Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Rich, fudgy double chocolate chip cookies made with cocoa powder and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Soft centers, crisp edges, ready in under an hour.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks, or 226 grams) unsalted butter , at room temperature
- 1 ½ cups (300 grams) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (75 grams) light brown sugar , packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups (270 grams) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (70 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder (I like to sub 1/4 cup special dark cocoa powder)
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips , or milk chocolate chips
- Flaky sea salt , optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugar. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the 1 cup butter, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup brown sugar on medium speed. Add in 2 eggs and 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla and mix until smooth.
- Make cookie dough. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 3/4 cup cocoa, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir in 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips. Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and mix on low speed just until combined.
- Using a large cookie scoop (or about 2 Tablespoons), spoon dough onto the baking sheet. Press extra chocolate chips on top, if desired. Chill 15 minutes.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly crisp but still soft in the middle. Let set on the pan 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle the tops with flaky sea salt, if desired.
