Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

Jump to Recipe

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies were created with chocolate lovers in mind. A rich double chocolate chip cookie with chocolate morsels packed into every bite, these cookies pair perfectly with an ice cold glass of milk. Next time a chocolate craving hits, reach for one of these cookies. Your taste buds will thank you! 

Chocolate Cookie Recipe

Words alone aren’t enough to do these cookies justice. Thank goodness for pictures! Double chocolate cookies taste even better than they look–and I think these look pretty darn good. They even earned a spot in my collection of The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipes.

Double Chocolate Chip Cookies 

These cookies are certified as chocolate lover’s heaven. A soft chocolate cookie plus morsels of semi-sweet chocolate is just about my idea of a perfect cookie. My whole kitchen smelled divine as these were baking and I could hardly wait for them to cool to sneak a bite.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

For the times when a regular ol’ chocolate chip cookie isn’t enough to quench your chocolate thirst, double chocolate is  the ticket. With cocoa powder baked into the dough, you get a deep cocoa taste with every bite. The chocolate chips nearly melt in your mouth, making the cookie eating experience even better. 

What kind of cocoa should you use? 

While I used dark chocolate cocoa powder to make these, regular cocoa will work just fine. We just prefer dark chocolate when given the choice. I often use half dark cocoa powder and half regular dutch processed. 

You can fill these with milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, white chocolate chips or even peanut butter or butterscotch chips. Whatever you like! I can imagine these would taste great with a blend of half semi-sweet chocolate morsels and half white chocolate chips, too.

Making Chocolate Cookies

This is a great base chocolate cookie recipe that you can get creative with. Like nuts? Add some walnuts or pecans. I have trouble ever imagining the desire to put a raisin in anything, but if you like raisins, toss some in, you’ll get a chocolate covered raisin cookie!

Like M&Ms? You’ll like this Chocolate M&M Cookie adaption with mini M&Ms and peppermint M&Ms that I made for a holiday treat. 

You could also leave out the chocolate chips and mix ins altogether and still have a great tasting basic chocolate chip cookie. 

Double Chocolate Cookies tend to be very rich, which I find means I’m usually tempted to eat fewer of them in one sitting. Bonus! That said, I find these so tasty that I can easily eat two or three at a time.

Tips and Tricks

  • These cookies can be baked immediately after preparing the dough, as called for in the recipe. However, you can also place the dough in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours prior to baking, which will give them an even richer flavor.
  • If you decide to chill your dough, make sure to cover it tightly with plastic wrap, and take it out of the refrigerator about an hour prior to baking to make it easier to scoop. I find that if you can give your cookie dough at least an hour in the fridge, it really pays off in the flavor. 
  • Store these cookies in an airtight container. If you’re going to be storing them for more than few days, you can also pop them in the freezer. Let thaw completely in the fridge or at room temperature before serving. 

Can’t get enough chocolate?

I can’t let you go without reminding you of some of my other all-time favorite chocolate cookies.  Hot Chocolate Cookies are a reader favorite. These cookies are so delicious that Jet-Puffed put the recipe on their Mallow Bits container! They really do taste like a cup of hot cocoa!

A recent favorite of mine are Flourless Chocolate Cookies. No flour needed, and I swear they taste just like fudgey brownies.

I love baking and eating cookies, so it’s asking a lot for me to nail down what I think are the very best cookie recipes I’ve made and shared over the years. Still, I think I can confidently say that Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies are my all time favorite. With a rich chocolate dough and bits of peanut butter cups, those are the cookies I crave most when I want something rich and sweet.

Author: Christi Johnstone

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar tightly packed
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups cocoa powder I prefer to do a mix of regular and dark cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 cups assorted chocolate chips such as milk chocolate, dark chocolate and semi-sweet.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter until light and creamy. Add in sugar and brown sugar and beat until well combined. Add in eggs, one at a time, mixing until each is fully incorporated into batter. Add in vanilla and mix.
  • In a separate bowl, combine flours, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Slowly add dry mixture to wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Using a large cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough onto baking sheet. A large cookie scoop holds about 3 tablespoons of cookie dough. Space dough at least 2" apart.
  • Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes. Cookies should be starting to firm up but still soft in the middle. Remove from oven and allow to cool on pan on a wire rack for at least five minutes. Repeat with remaining dough. Allow to cool completely prior to storing. Store in an airtight container.

    There is nothing wrong with posting a cookie recipe at the beginning of the year. I have decided to delay any healthy eating, so bring on the chocolate! These look amazing!

    This recipe is terrific. A soft and very chocolate cookie. Thanks!

    But I came looking for such a cookie as a base for something a bit flashier and more Christmas-y. It turns out that lightly frosting these and sprinkling them with crushed candy cane pieces is *also* terrific, and very nicely fit my bill.

    This looks great, but you have to know that there are so many ads going on this page that its taking forever to load and scroll and it will prevent me from using any of your recipies 🙁
    Just thought you might want to know that.

      Thanks Alison. This is the busiest week of the year for traffic on the website, and unfortunately with double to triple the average traffic, it does get slowed down a bit.

    These were insanely good. My friends were raving about them many hours after they were baked. I followed the recipe almost exactly, except for Step 2… I added the sugar, butter, egg, all at once (careless mistake…) but it ended up not being a problem at all. I did about 70/30 on dark cocoa powder / regular, and I’ll probably keep that ratio for next time. For chocolate chips I did a mix of what I had in my cupboard which included white chocolate, semi sweet, and then whatever the Ghirardelli discs are. Will try adding macadamia nuts next time. And there will 100% be a next time. Might eat right out of the oven with some ice cream. Mmmm. Thanks for the recipe!

      Absolutely, you can really add any mix in you like, it won’t change the foundation of the recipe.

    ***** I couldn’t put the number of stars so used asterisks. Well my daughter picked the recipe and has declared them AMAZING! I did change a couple of things. I used coconut palm sugar instead of brown sugar because that’s all I had. I also used gluten free flour. I also put in a heaping cup of chocolate chips and a heaping cup of caramel bits and some chopped pecans. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

      Just standard (unsweetened) cocoa powder. I’m not aware of a sweetened version.
