Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Report
Double Chocolate Chip Cookies combine cocoa powder with flour for a deep chocolate base, enhanced by brewed espresso for richness. The dough is creamed with butter and sugars to create a tender and slightly chewy cookie texture. Semi-sweet chocolate chips are folded in, contributing bursts of melty chocolate, with optional flaky sea salt accentuating the flavor. About sixteen cookies are yielded, making them a satisfying treat for sharing or snacking.
Description
This recipe creates Double Chocolate Chip Cookies using unsweetened cocoa powder and all-purpose flour in the dry mix, delivering a rich chocolate flavor throughout. Adding brewed espresso or strong coffee intensifies the chocolate depth without overwhelming the cookie taste. The dough is creamed with butter and both granulated and light brown sugars, promoting a subtly chewy yet soft texture.
Egg, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips (semi-sweet) are incorporated before baking. Stirring in most chips with some reserved for topping creates chocolate pockets with slightly toasted edges. Optionally, flaky sea salt may be sprinkled on top to balance sweetness and highlight the chocolate.
This batch yields about sixteen cookies, each generous in size, ideal for enjoying with milk or coffee as a dessert or snack.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup butter unsalted
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups chocolate chips divided, semi-sweet
- 2 Tbsp brewed espresso or strong coffee
- flaky sea salt optional garnish, such as Maldon
Instructions
Stir together dry ingredients
- In a smaller mixing bowl, add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine, then set aside.
"Cream" the butter and sugars
- To a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Using a hand mixer, beat on LOW for about 30 seconds (or until the ingredients are starting to stick together), then increase speed to MED and beat for about 1-2 minutes, or until everything is fully combined and lighter in color. **This process is called creaming the fat and sugar, but there is no cream in this recipe**
Add remaining wet ingredients
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and espresso, then beat until combined.
Combine wet and dry ingredients
- To the mixing bowl with the wet ingredients, add the combined dry ingredients from the smaller bowl. Beat on LOW until things are just combined and you don't see any streaks of flour.
Stir in chips
- Add 1 3/4 cup chocolate chips (reserving the other 1/4 cup for later), and stir until combined.
Chill
- Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Prepare to bake
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop dough and bake
- Use a 1.5 Tbsp cookie scoop to scoop dough, then roll into a ball with your hands. Add to prepared baking sheets, adding about 8 dough balls on each baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each ball.
- Using the remaining chocolate chips, press a few chocolate chips gently into the top of each ball.
- Bake in preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the middle still looks soft and a bit gooey.
Cool
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. The cookies may look more puffed up when you remove them from the oven, and sort of deflate as they cool.
- **Letting them sit on the baking sheet allows them to gently finish baking and will make sure they're not overcooked and crumbly.**
- After they've cooled on the baking sheet, remove them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- This recipe produces approximately sixteen cookies, but serving size can be adjusted by dividing the dough differently.
