Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Last update: July 18, 2016 By Alice Currah 36 Comments

[donotprint] Last year I posted a recipe for Gluten-Free BitterSweet Choc0late Decadence cookies which are truley decadent.  Today I share a similar chocolate chocolate chip cookie which is a chocolate lover’s dream come true.  What I love about this recipe is how easy the dough is to work with and how decadent the texture is.  They literally melt in your mouth with each bite.  Although I used semi-sweet chocolate chips, feel free to use any type of chocolate chips you like including peanut butter or mint.  This recipe also calls for an optional 1/2 cup of chopped nuts.  If you do decide to add nuts I suggest almonds, peanuts, macadamia, walnuts, or pecan.  And if you happen to have any instant coffee on hand such as Starbucks Via, feel free to add 2 teaspoons to the dough as well. Enjoy! [/donotprint]

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

2 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 tsp. of table salt OR 3/4 tsp. of coarse sea or kosher salt

1 tsp. baking soda

3/4 cup cocoa powder

2 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups chocolate chips OR 12 oz bag of chocolate chips *I realize 12 oz. of chocolate chips doesn’t equal to 2 cups but if you buy your chocolate chips in warehouse quantities, 2 cups.

*Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts

*Optional: 2 tsp. instant coffee

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar until it is nice and fluffy (approx. 3-5 minutes on medium speed on a K-5). Add both eggs and vanilla and beat for an additional 2 minutes.  Add baking soda, salt, cocoa powder (and instant coffee), and flour until cookie batter is well combined.  Finally add chocolate chips until well distributed.  The cookie batter should be somewhat thick.  Drop about 2 tablespoons of dough or use a medium cookie scoop and plop the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  Bake for 10-12 minutes until tops of cookies are slightly firm to the touch.  Remove from heat and allow the cookies to stay on the cookie sheet for an additional 2 minutes.  Pick up the parchment paper with the cookies still on top and transfer to a cool non-porous surface.  Allow the cookies to cool on the paper for at least 3 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

    I’m not typically a cookie baker, I usually do more cakes, etc. But I googled chocolate chip cookies and your site came up with this recipe and of course they looked delicious so I made them for a girls movie night a few nights ago. Wow! They are so good!! All of my friends went crazy for them and they were all gone by the end of the night. I didn’t take the time to add the nuts or the espresso and they still turned out to be one of the best cookies I’ve ever made. Excellent recipe – thank you for sharing!!!

    Yolanda,
    I live in Spain as well. If you have an IKEA near you, they sell all the American measuring cups and spoons. I bought a set there for only 1 euro.

    Hi Alice!
    I just wanted to say me and my friends love your site. As a college student im still learning how to navigate into this wild cooking world especially since I vowed never to spend my college year eating ramen and I love how “do-able” your recipes are. Thanks for helping us be healthy and giving us a yummier option =)

    Alice, thank you for this recipe! I made these last night, and they were incredible. Our friends devoured them, and my husband and I have been fighting (nicely) over the few that remain. We made them with the coffee and added walnuts. These will definitely be my new go-to cookies!

    Hi again,
    I made these again last night for a rowdy group of English teachers, this time with the coffee and regular chocolate chips. Still awesome. I can’t thank you enough for this recipe!

    Hi Yolanda, I’m not familiar with metric measuring however here are my thoughts. Let’s start with the butter. When baking cookies in a mixer (robot?), the butter should be room temperature. Because you mentioned your butter crumbled I am going to assume your butter was not brought to room temperature and was slightly cold. It’s very hard to cream/beat sugar and butter together with cold butter. The net result will give you clumps/crumbs of the mix compared to a creamy, fluffy like texture.

    I converted the ingredients below for you. By the looks of your comment, I can tell way too much flour was used. I hope you try baking these again as they are really wonderful cookies! Good luck. Also here is a great page used for conversion by allrecipes.com.

    2 cups AP flour weighs 256 grams
    1 cup of butter weighs 226 grams
    3/4 cup white sugar weighs 150 grams
    3/4 cup PACKED brown sugar weighs 165 grams
    3/4 cup cocoa = 96 grams
    2 cups chocolate chips = 304 grams

    Hi, Alice!

    I’ve made these cookies today. I used all the ingredients in your recipe, but in my opinion, if the conversion from cups and ounces to grams is correct, the quantity of flour is far too much. I don’t know whether you are familiarised with quantities in grams, and as for flour, I added 450 grms. Half this quantity of butter, 170 grams of white sugar and some additional 170 grams of brown sugar, and the same as for powder cocoa. No problem with teaspoons so far!

    And I found the butter so difficult to handle, even my robot (a Thermomix one, very popular here in Spain) wasn’t able to manage it. The butter was all crumbled and I found it hard to shape it into nut-sized balls. I had to use my hands for this purpose, no way with that tool you used!

    I didn’t add any chocolate chips or nuts; too much, in my opinion.

    What can you tell me about this? I expect your response. Please, please, Alice!

    Where is Alice?

    Take care.

    Yolanda

    These cookies look terribly gorgeous, but I am always terrified with the use of cups as a measure, since in Spain we are not used to using this type of measure, so I’ll see what I can do about it, but I’m already craving for one of yours.

    Take care.

    I made these last night, with mint chocolate chips, and they were divine. Truly, one of the top cookie recipes I have ever tried.

    You’re so welcome! If you haven’t already tried, the gluten-free pecan bars on the site are really amazing.

    Target and Amazon.com would be great resources for scoops. If you live near a restaurant supply store they’ll have them too! Good luck!

    I’m going to have to try these today! I love how they look so rounded. Does anyone have a good source for kitchen supplies? My local stores don’t have anything like the scoop you have in the pics. I always wish I could find a few of different sizes. . . . . Rhonda
