Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Double Chocolate Chip Cookies are buttery sweet, soft inside with a thin crunchy shell. They taste like bakery fresh cookies and are very easy to make.

Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Overview

This recipe uses the same secrets as a bakery to make a buttery flat crispy cookie.

One of the biggest secrets to a large, flat, crunchy coffee shop-style cookie is in the sugar. That's why this recipe uses a combination of white granulated and brown sugar to give the best results.

Two types of chocolate are also used for the recipe. First, melted baker's chocolate is added to the batter, then chocolate chips are mixed in for that extra chocolatey goodness.

This recipe makes 36 cookies and they freeze well! You can serve half now and freeze the rest for later.

How To Make Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Full ingredients and instructions are also in the recipe card at the bottom of this blog post.

STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

STEP 2: Add 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, ½ tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, and ¼ tsp salt to a medium bowl. Mix and set aside. This is your dry ingredients mixture.

STEP 3: In a separate bowl melt 4 baker's chocolate squares in the microwave. Heat in 30-second increments until the chocolate has melted through. Set aside.

STEP 4: Add 1 cup unsalted room-temperature butter to a separate bowl with 1 cup white granulated sugar and 1 cup brown sugar. Cream with a hand mixer for 2 minutes. This will force air into the mixture making it light and fluffy providing structure to your baked goods.

STEP 5: Now add 2 eggs and mix.

STEP 6: Next, add the melted chocolate squares, and 2 tsp vanilla extract and mix again.

STEP 7: Add half of the dry ingredients mixture and mix.

STEP 8: Add the other half of your dry ingredients mixture, and mix again. The batter will be thick and you might need to stir by hand for the last part.

STEP 9: Fold 1 cup chocolate chips into the dough using a spatula.

STEP 10: Drop 1 Tbsp of dough onto the baking sheet leaving a 2" space between each cookie allowing room to expand. This recipe makes about 36 cookies so you'll need multiple baking sheets, or cook in batches.

STEP 11: Bake the cookies for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, this completes the baking process.

STEP 12: Using a thin spatula transfer the soft cookies to a rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

How to store

• Refrigerate - Cookies can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge or the counter for up to one week.
• Freeze - These cookies also freeze well! This is my favorite way to store cookies and muffins. Just add to a freezer bag and seal tightly removing as much air as possible.
