Instructions

  • In a bowl add 1/3 cup unsalted melted butter along with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of golden brown sugar. 
  • Using a whisk thoroughly mix the sugar in the melted butter together.
  • Now add one large eggplus 1 large egg yolk. Then pour in 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
    Steps to make Double Chocolate Cookies: combine the sugars and melted butter, then add the eggs and combine with a whisk.
  • Measure out 1 cup of all-purpose flour. And make sure to spoon it in and level it off with a knife. Measuring flour properly is super important in baking.
  • Now place a mesh sieve on top of your mixing bowl and add the flour in along with 1/3 cup dutch cocoa powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1 tsp baking powder.
  • Now gently sift the dry ingredients into your bowl. If you see any larger clumps, just press them in with the back of a spoon. Now set the dry ingredients aside for later.
  • Now grab your sifted dry ingredients and add them to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix them gently with a spatula.
    Steps to make Double Chocolate Cookies: sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder, then use a spatula to mix the dry ingredients and chocolate chips in.
  • Now before adding in 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips, reserve about 1/4 cup. They will be used to top the cookies before baking. 
  • Now grab your whisk again and mix it very well. You want the consistency to be very smooth so this might require a little bit of elbow grease.
  • Now mix in the chocolate chips into the dough and evenly as possible.
  • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper and grab your cookie scoop. ( I used a medium size)
  • Scoop out heaping mounds of the chocolate cookie dough onto your baking sheet. Making sure to space them about at least 2 inches apart. 
  • Now you can leave them as they are or you can roll each ball into your hand for a prettier looking cookie. But that’s optional though.
  • Now top each cookie with a few of those chocolate chips we reserved earlier and bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 9 minutes. Once they’re baked, let the cookies slightly cool before enjoying them.
    Steps to make Double Chocolate Cookies: roll the dough out into balls, then add chocolate chips on top, and bake.

Notes

  • Spoon and level the flour when measuring- Scooping flour into a measuring cup can pack it in, inadvertently adding too much and drying out your dough. Instead, spoon the flour into the cup and level it off with a knife to get the precise amount.
  • Use a spatula to mix the cookie dough- This is a great tool for mixing dough because it is too thick for a whisk or spoon. It also forces you to fold the dry and wet ingredients together, keeping the dough from becoming overworked and tough.
  • Place the cookies 2 inches apart- This cookie dough spreads quite a bit, so place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the baking sheet so they don't meld into each other.
