Make rich, fudgy double chocolate chip cookies using cocoa powder in the dough for an intense chocolate flavor. This recipe delivers bakery-style results with simple steps.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder (optional, for deeper flavor)
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder, if using.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks by hand.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers should still appear slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the chewiest cookies, slightly underbake them. They firm up as they cool.
  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor in your cookie dough.
  • If you prefer a brownie cookie hybrid, press a small piece of extra chocolate chunk into the top of each dough ball before baking.
  • This recipe makes excellent melt in your mouth chocolate cookies when slightly chilled before baking.
