Crispy Double Chocolate Cookie
Fast and Easy Recipe
This recipe is incredibly easy. You don’t need to cream the butter and sugar. There is no need to stick the dough in the fridge before you bake them. And you will not need to roll them out and cut them. They are simple drop cookies with a powerful chocolate flavor.
You will love how quick this recipe comes together. Just melt the butter, add it to the sugars, eggs, and vanilla then stir in the dry ingredients. Once the oven is up to temperature, drop the cookie dough on a baking sheet and stick them in the oven. If you are like us and want a perfectly round cookie then you can roll the dough in a pretty little ball before baking the cookies. If you skip that step, the cookies will still turn out perfectly fine.
The little balls of cookie dough spread out on their own and become thin crunchy cookies. If you under-bake them by a couple of minutes they will have crisp edges and chewy centers. You just can’t go wrong!!

Crispy Double Chocolate Cookies
Crispy Double Chocolate Cookies that are incredibly easy to make. No creaming butter, no refrigeration, and no need to roll dough. These rich chocolatey cookies taste like a crisp brownie bite.
Ingredients
- 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour (320 grams)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder
- 2 sticks butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-1/2 cups mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F
- Add the flour, baking soda, salt, cocoa and espresso powder together, whisk to combine and reserve until needed.
- In a separate bowl, add the melted butter and the white and brown sugars. Mix the butter and sugar until well combined, you can use either an electric mixer or mix it by hand. Add the eggs and the vanilla and mix well.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet batter and with the mixer on the lowest speed, mix the flour until well blended. Alternatively, you can stir the batter by hand with a large mixing spoon.
- Stir in the mini chocolate chips. Reserve 1/4 cup of the chocolate chips to sprinkle on top of the cookies just before baking them.
- Drop rounded teaspoons onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle some of the extra chocolate chips on top of the batter. Space the cookie batter 1 inch apart to allow for spreading. Transfer to the middle rack of the oven and bake 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before placing on a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- Once the cookies are completely cool, they will become crunchy.
- If you cut the baking time short by 2 to 3 minutes, the cookies will be crisp on the edges and crunchy in the center.

Can I half the ingredients to get half the quantity? I am not sure whether my grandchildren will like this or not.
Dahn Boquist
Yes, you can do that 🙂
Janet Young
I am not a fan of espresso can leave it out of the recipe?.
Dahn Boquist
yes you can leave it out 😉

I tried this recipe and the results were great! I mistakenly read the recipe, I did not melted and cooled the butter, instead I used softened room temperature butter, therefore the result a bit chewy but still they were delicious!! Also, if I don’t use any brown sugar, would it affected the taste? Thanks!
Dahn Boquist
Glad you like them. Yes it will change the taste and the texture if you do not use the brown sugar. I haven’t tried the recipe that way but I would expect them to turn out a bit crispy without the brown sugar.
Disha
Great and easy recipe. Wanted to check..can i skip brown sugar and replace with same amount of white sugar? i don’t mind crispy crunchy cookies.
Dahn Boquist
Yes, you can do that. It will make them a bit crisp. If you like them even crispier then keep them in the oven for an extra minute or two.
Theresia
Can I use this recipe and make some innovation out of it? Maybe I can use this as a starter dough (but without the cocoa powder and espresso)
Dahn Boquist
The cookies would turn out just fine without espresso powder but we haven’t made this particular recipe without the cocoa powder so I can’t tell you how that would turn out. They won’t be chocolate cookies anymore though.
Melissa
These look delicious! I don’t have espresso powder. You think I can use a couple spoons with regular strong coffee instead?
Dahn Boquist
I don’t know how the extra liquid of brewed coffee will affect the cookies and I wouldn’t recommend putting in coffee grinds. I would recommend leaving the espresso powder out altogether if you don’t have any. The cookies will still be good without it.

I used this recipe to make one of my Christmas favorites — with just one small change. Instead of chocolate chips, I take half of one of those little Andes chocolates, break it in half and put it on top of the cookie right after I transfer it to the cooling rack. After a minute or two, the mint chocolate is melty, and I give it a swirl with the back of a spoon.
This is a great recipe! thanks!
Pat Nyswonger
Hey, Lisa…that sounds fabulously delicious! I love those Andes chocolates, thanks for the creative idea! 🙂
Susan
How long do these cookies last if I freeze them???
Dahn Boquist
Susan, if you keep them sealed in an airtight freezer friendly container or bag, they will last you for 6 months. 🙂 Thanks for asking
Kseniya
These were great! Mine didn’t turn out as pretty but oh so good. Thank you for posting the recipe!
Dahn
It’s great to hear from you, I’m so glad you enjoyed the cookies. It’s quite alright if they are not pretty as long as they are tasty 🙂
Sabrina
I’m a sucker for a good double chocolate chip cookie. These look fantastic!
