chocolate chocolate chip cookies (double chocolate chip cookies)
January 9th, 2010
I’ve been on a quest these last few years to find my absolute favorite go-to recipes for some classic cookies. And while I was successful pretty quickly with many others, the perfect chocolate chocolate chip cookie (or “double chocolate”) seemed to elude me. The closest recipe I’d actually found used a chocolate cake mix, but I was wanting something truly homemade. AND, I didn’t want to melt chocolate. (Still, in my opinion, too much work for a cookie.) And, I wanted something chewy. And of course, super chocolate-y. :)
As you might guess since I’m posting, I’m pleased to announce…success!!!
Behold…my new favorite chocolate chocolate chip cookie recipe. Found it (of all places) at AllRecipes. Fabulous flavor, nice chewy texture, and uses nice, convenient, takes-2-seconds-to-scoop-out cocoa powder. My kind of cookie. :)
Bookmark it. Try it. Love it.
Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
(Adapted from AllRecipes)
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (or dark chocolate cocoa powder)
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In large bowl, beat butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; stir into the butter mixture until well blended. Mix in the chocolate chips. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or just until set. Cool slightly on the cookie sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Ali’s Tip:
This recipe is a fantastic base for substituting in other chips as well! Some of my favorites include:
- dark chocolate chips
- white chocolate chips
- Heath toffee chips
- Andes mint chips
- white chocolate chips
- peanut butter chips
- butterscotch chips
these look perfect! I bookmarked it :)

I’m totally with you on the whole melting chocolate thing. There’s already a whole cup of butter in these anyhow. Plus the chocolate chips? Crazy high in fat. But I love me some choc-chocs. Keep those bakery concoctions at Kroger out of my sight cause I can’t keep out of them. I’m gonna try this recipe since you recommend so highly and seem to have that whole no-melting thing just like me.

These cookies look great… They kind of remind me of cookies I made for my hubby not too long ago. They were his favorite!

These cookies are amazing and so easy to make! For some reason I always thought making double choc. chip cookies would be time consuming, but they weren’t. I have some of the dough frozen in my freezer for later use. Thanks for the recipe!

Mm, these were great! I planned to make them for my choir bake sale, but they were so tasty that they were eaten up at a get together with friends.

Delicious! My husband said these rivaled his grandmother’s cookies, which is the highest compliment he gives.
