Here’s a simple recipe for making two indulgent double chocolate cookies that are sure to bring a smile to your face. These cookies are thick, fudgy, and loaded with chocolate, making them a perfect treat for any chocolate lover.
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons of very soft butter
- 5 1/2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons of flour (about 37 grams)
- 2 1/2 tablespoons of cocoa powder (about 15 grams)
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon of salt
- 3-4 tablespoons of chocolate chips or chunks
- Granulated sugar for rolling the cookie dough
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Start by softening the butter slightly in the microwave; it should be mostly melted but not completely.
- Mix the dough. In a bowl, combine the softened butter and brown sugar. Mix well, then add the egg yolk and vanilla and stir until everything is well incorporated. Next, add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to the mixture and stir until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Shape the cookies. Take the dough and form two large balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar to give them a nice sweet coating.
- Bake the cookies. Place the dough balls on a baking sheet. They might feel a bit heavy; that’s normal. Bake them for 10 minutes. After baking, let them sit on the baking sheet for another 10 minutes to set.
- Enjoy! Relish your delicious, homemade double chocolate cookies.
Additional Tips:
- If you don’t have a kitchen scale for the flour and cocoa powder, simply scoop the flour with a tablespoon and level it off with a knife.
- You can use either dark or regular cocoa powder. Dark will give a richer, deeper chocolate flavor and color.
- This recipe also works great with white chocolate chips. If using white chocolate, you can skip rolling the dough balls in sugar.
This recipe is perfect for when you need a quick chocolate fix or want to share a sweet moment with someone special. Enjoy baking and indulging in your delicious creation!
