[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!
Salted or unsalted butter for this recipe? Looks delicious!!!
I made these last night and they are fantastic–some of the best cookies I’ve ever had! Everyone loved them. The rich, deep (but not too sweet) chocolate flavor of the cookie mixed so well with the milk chocolate chips I used. Thank you so much for this recipe. Next, I’ll try the regular chocolate chip cookies.
Hi Alice,
Actually I dun have eggs…so is there any substitute for that?
Hi Alice
Looks wonderful! Do you need to flatten the cookies after you scoop it onto the baking sheet? Or it will flatten up once it is being baked?
Hi! I really want to try this recipe but I’ve been wondering about adding coffee into a chocolate dish like this.. Am I gonna be able to actually taste the coffee? Thing is, I don’t like coffee so I’m really hoping the taste doesn’t come through.. 😐
I baked these today as a thank you gift to our neighbor. They are amazing.
To all of those who plan to try the recipe, don’t leave out the sea salt. It adds something special.
I just made these- they are perfect! Not too sweet…they are dense yet light,almost like a brownie cookie. Great recipe, thank you 🙂
I just made these this afternoon and they are delicious! My boyfriend loves them as well.
I made these this afternoon and they were great! I used 1/2 butter & 1/2 shortening because it was all the butter I had plus I used up the smidge of white chocolate chips & macadamia nuts I had in addition to semi-sweet chips. After the first batch baked, I decided to roll them & toss them in sugar, flattening slightly before baking. They were gorgeous & delicious! Thanks for the recipe!! Its a keeper.
I’ve been looking for a cookie recipe like this and can hardly wait to try it… you know, that “I need a chocolate fix” type of cookie recipe where you have the ingredients in the house kinda cookie! Thank you!
I just made these and they are yummy!!! They remind me of brownies….mine came kinda soft on the inside . I also put two thirds of white sugar and they still came out perfect! Love’em!
