Soft Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
These double chocolate chip cookies bake up with super soft centers, chewy edges, and pools of melted milk chocolate. The dark cocoa cookie dough comes together in just a few minutes, and with a quick freeze and bake time, you can have a batch of freshly baked cookies in less than an hour!
Ingredients
- 210 g (1 ¾ cups) all-purpose flour
- 31 g (¼ cup + 2 tbsp) dutch process cocoa powder
- 10 g (2 tablespoon) black cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 170 g (12 tablespoon) unsalted butter, room temp
- 160 g (¾ cup) brown sugar
- 100 g (½ cup) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 113 g (4 oz) milk chocolate, roughly chopped + more for topping
Instructions
- In a medium bowl combine the flour, cocoa powders, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer to cream together the butter and sugars for 2-3 minutes until light & fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla until fully combined.
- Scrape down the bowl, then add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in the roughly chopped chocolate with a rubber spatula until evenly distributed.
- Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the dough onto a small parchment lined baking sheet. Freeze for 15-30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place the frozen cookie dough balls on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Top each of them with more chopped chocolate if desired. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Once the cookies come out of the oven, immediately use a round cookie cutter or glass to scoot the edges in and make them perfectly round.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, and enjoy!
Notes
- Use a cookie scoop. Use a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the cookie dough into equally sized cookies!
- Freeze the portioned cookie dough. To ensure the cookies bake up thick, don't skip the freeze time!
- Scoot the cookies. Immediately after the cookies come out of the oven, use a large round cookie cutter or glass to scoot the edges and form a perfectly round cookie.
