Chewy Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are the deeply chocolatey, bakery-style cookies you make when only chocolate will do. Cocoa powder in the dough gives them a fudgy, brownie-like base, while a generous handful of chocolate chips keeps every bite gooey.

Prep time: 15 minutes  |  Cook time: 11 minutes  |  Makes: 18 cookies

Ingredients

• 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1½ cups chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment.
2. Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat the butter with both sugars until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla.
5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
6. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 10–11 minutes until the edges are set but the centers still look soft. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring.
