double chocolate cookies with white chocolate chunks on a wire rack

Being at home more lately has made me crave some things and cookies are one of them, and maybe wine. For a while now I’ve always turned to this great recipe for one chocolate cookie from Cooking Classy. But let’s get real, it’s just one cookie, albeit a large cookie. It’s much easier if you make a batch and they last (sometimes) a couple of days. This recipe for double chocolate cookies has been on my blog for years, in fact way back when I began blogging but I knew it was a good recipe and would be a top contender for a remake. So with a few tweaks and nicer pictures, here they are, all soft and warm and delicious, just how a cookie should be! If you’re not a huge fan of double chocolate cookies, try these peanut butter and jelly cookies, these are a perfect alternative!

Ingredients needed for your double chocolate cookies

  • All purpose flour.
  • Baking soda, make sure yours isn’t too old or it’ll lose its oomph, I keep mine n the fridge.
  • Cocoa powder, not the hot chocolate kind bit the unprocessed bitter stuff.
  • Chocolate chips. I like using Ghirardelli large chips.
  • Butter, softened and unsalted.
  • Sugar, regular granulated is perfect.
  • Eggs, large.
  • Vanilla extract.
  • White chocolate, Lindt white chocolate in bar from and not chips is better so you can cut to into big chunks.

how to make the best chocolate cookies

  1. Creating dry and wet ingredients

    Mixing the flour, baking soda and cocoa powder will set you up with your dry ingredients. Set them aside for the second part of the recipe.

  2. Mixing the first stage of the cookie dough

    Make sure your butter is at room temperature to create a nice light texture when it gets mixed on high speed with the sugar. This is called creaming and is a common step in cake making or baking.

  3. Final step of the cookie dough

    Combine the dry ingredients with the wet and mix until your perfect cookie dough forms.

  4. Scooping the cookie dough

    I use a 1.5 inch diameter cookie dough scoop and use it twice for each cookie. That means you place the first scoop onto your prepared baking tray and then place another scoop right on top of it. That’s why the cookies look like they are raised in the center.

  5. Adding the white chocolate

    The white chocolate chunks need to ne hand folded into the dough with a spatula or the beater from the mixer will break them down into small pieces. We want to see big melted chunks of white chocolate after the cookies are baked.

  6. Baking your cookies

    I baked mine for 14 minutes which gave me a slightly crispy edge and soft center. You can go a minute or two either way depending on how you prefer your cookies.

Can I freeze the cookie dough?

Yes! Let it thaw at room temperature and then bake as directed or bake from frozen adding five minutes bake time.

Can I use foil on my baking pan?

No, I recommend using parchment paper.

How can I warm up my already baked cookies?

5-10 seconds in the microwave should do it.

What if I don’t have an electric mixer?

You can mix them by hand but be prepared to beat the dough for a long time. You can also use a food processor or blender.
