Cocoa double chocolate chip cookies are a delightful twist on the classic chocolate chip cookies, packed with an extra chocolatey punch. Here's a recipe to make these delicious treats:
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semisweet or dark)
- 1/2 cup additional chocolate chips for mixing in
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
3. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Stir in the chocolate chips (1 cup) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Take half of the additional 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and roughly chop them into smaller pieces. Stir the chopped chocolate chips into the cookie dough.
8. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
9. Gently press a few whole chocolate chips from the remaining 1/2 cup onto the tops of each cookie dough ball.
10. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
11. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
12. Once cooled, the cocoa double chocolate chip cookies are ready to be enjoyed! Store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
These cookies are perfect for chocolate lovers and make a delicious treat for any occasion. Enjoy them with a glass of milk or share them with family and friends.
