Easy, Chewy Double Chocolate Cookies Recipe

Prep Time:  15 Minutes

Cook Time: 15 Minutes

Total Time: 30 Minutes

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups (325 grams) all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup (60 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 18 tablespoons (255 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature (2 1/4 sticks)
• 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
• 1 cup (200 grams) packed brown sugar
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 12 ounces (340 grams) chocolate chunks (about 2 cups)

Instructions

MAKE BATTER

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or use a silicon baking mat.
2. Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.
3. Add the butter and both sugars to a large bowl. Use a handheld mixer to cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy; 3 to 5 minutes. (Or, use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment).
4. Scrape the side and bottom of the bowl then add the eggs, one at time, on medium-low speed until incorporated. Mix in vanilla.
5. Turn the speed to the lowest setting. Add the dry ingredients in thirds, beating until just combined; 1 to 2 minutes. The cookie batter will become thick. Stir in the chocolate chunks.

BAKE COOKIES

1. Drop 1 1/2 tablespoon-mounds, or use a medium cookie scoop, onto baking sheets. Leave 2 inches between the cookies to allow for spreading.
2. Bake the cookies, one sheet at a time, for 9 to 12 minutes or until the cookies have puffed a little and the tops are dry. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
