Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies are loaded with cocoa-rich dough and generous chunks of real chocolate, baking up chewy in the center with slightly crisp edges. They come together in about 25 minutes and are a solid go-to when you want a deeply chocolatey, satisfying cookie.
Equipment
- 1 Mixing Bowls
- 1 Electric Mixer
- 1 Baking Sheets
- 1 Parchment Paper
- 1 Cooling Rack
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chunks preferably bittersweet or semi-sweet
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of room temperature unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup packed brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. This should take approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the creamed butter mixture. Be sure to mix until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
- Fold in 2 cups of chocolate chunks using a spatula, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
- Drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Bake at 175°C (350°F) for approximately 10 minutes, or until the cookies have set on the edges but are still soft in the center. The aroma should be intensely chocolatey.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
To add a touch of sophistication, try sprinkling a small pinch of sea salt over the cookies right before they cool to enhance the chocolate flavors. For a nutty twist, add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts along with the chocolate chunks.
