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.
Servings: 4 dozen
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour 320 grams
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon instant espresso powder
- 2 sticks butter 226 grams, melted and cooled
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ 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 11 to 15 minutes. (11 to 12 minutes for soft centers and 14 to 15 minutes for crisp cookies)
- Remove from oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before placing on a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
Crunch develops as they cool: The cookies will continue to crisp up as they cool completely. Don’t judge their final texture straight out of the oven.
Oven running cool? Here’s a fix: If your cookies are still soft after cooling, your oven may run a little low. Pop them back in at 325°F for 5 to 8 minutes to crisp them up without overbaking.
Want a softer center? Take the cookies out 2 to 3 minutes early. They’ll stay crisp on the edges but have a softer, slightly chewy center. (Or try our soft chocolate sugar cookies).
