Soft and chewy, with plenty of chocolate in each bite, these Double Chocolate Chips cookies are the perfect treat for all chocolate fans out there!
They are super easy to make and you can customize them to your liking.
You can make these cookies ahead of time and freeze them for later too! These cookies are so versatile and you can make them just the way you like. The cocoa powder in the cookie dough adds a rich, deep chocolate flavor and helps balance the sweetness of the cookie. That, combined with the sweet, milky flavor of the white chocolate is the perfect combination.
If you're in the mood for an even more intense chocolate flavor, you can replace half of the white chocolate chips with bittersweet chocolate for the most amazing triple chocolate flavor!
Helpful Tips:
Make sure to use melted but cooled, unsalted butter.
Don't skimp on the cocoa powder! Use a high quality cocoa powder, I recommend using a Dutch processed cocoa powder - this will give you the best flavor profile.
Sea salt enhances flavor! Don't hesitate about the salt in this recipe; all the flavors will balance each other out.
If you end up using salted butter instead of unsalted, make sure you adjust the sea salt; otherwise your cookies will come out too salty.
DO NOT over-mix any of the ingredients. If you add too much air to the butter and sugar mix, or while you're beating the eggs, the dough will come out soft and you'll need more flour for the dough to come together.
Over-mixing the flour can result in the cookies being too tough (this comes from too much gluten in the flour developing). Make sure you mix the dough on low as you add the flour into the batter.
Allow the dough to chill for about 1 hour. This will ensure the cookies won't spread too much.
Start off by combining the butter, melted and cooled; brown sugar and white sugar. Remember not to beat these ingredients too much. Add in the coffee, salt, vanilla and eggs one at a time.
In a separate bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder together. Add the cocoa-flour mix slowly to the batter and mix on low speed.
When most of the flour is mixed in, add about 3/4 of the chocolate chunks/chis, and mix on low speed until the chunks/chips are well incorporated.
Remove the bowl from the mixer and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour. After the dough has been refrigerated, let it set out at room temperature for about 15 minutes, so the dough is easier to scoop.
Scoop about 3 tablespoons of dough onto a parchment lined sheet pan. Bake at 350ºF for 12-15 minutes.
Remove cookies and let the cool for about 10-15 minutes.
Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
2 sticks unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 cup dark brown (or light brown) sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules (optional)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
2/3 cup cocoa powder
3/4 cup chopped semisweet chocolate or white chocolate (or a mixture of both)
extra sea salt flakes for garnish
Instructions
Pour the cooled butter into a mixing bowl. Add both sugars, coffee, salt and vanilla and mix them on medium speed. Mix only until the butter-sugar mixture becomes creamy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix until mixed through.
In a separate bowl - sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder together. Add the cocoa-flour mixture slowly while the mixer is on the lowest speed.
When most of the flour is mixed in, add the chocolate chunks/chips on low speed until the chocolate chunks/chips are mixed in. Remove the bowl from the mixer and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour.
Let the dough set at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before scooping.
Scoop about 3 tablespoons of dough onto a parchment paper lined sheet pan.
Bake in an oven preheated to 350ºF for 12-15 minutes.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for about 10-15 minutes. Then carefully place them on a cooling rack for them to cool further.
The cookies are best eaten while warm, but can be enjoyed at room temperature too.
