How to Make Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugars
2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Step 3: Add Eggs and Vanilla
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until fully combined.
Step 4: Mix Dry Ingredients
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Step 5: Fold in Chocolate Chips
5. Gently fold in the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
Step 6: Scoop and Bake
6. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm for gooey chocolate or at room temperature for a chewy texture.
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with a glass of cold milk for a classic combination.
- Sandwich two cookies with a scoop of ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
- Crumble over yogurt or pudding for a fun topping.
Tips for the Best Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

- Don’t Overbake: The cookies will continue to set as they cool.
- Chill the Dough: For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Experiment with Mix-Ins: Try adding chopped nuts, white chocolate chips, or dried fruit for variety.
Storage Instructions
- Room Temperature: Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Freezer: Freeze unbaked dough balls on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the baking time.
