These Two Huge Double Chocolate Cookies are a decadent treat perfect for satisfying any chocolate craving. Made with a soft butter base, rich cocoa, brown sugar, and studded with chocolate chips, these cookies bake up thick and fudgy with a slightly crisp sugar-coated exterior. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal prep time, you can enjoy warm, gooey, double chocolate cookies baked right at home.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 large cookies

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 3 tablespoons butter, very soft
  • 5 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour (37 grams)
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder (15 grams)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3-4 tablespoons chocolate chips or chunks

Finishing

  • Granulated sugar, for rolling

Instructions

  1. Soften the Butter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Then soften the butter by microwaving it for about 10 seconds until it is slightly melted but still holds some shape, as shown in the reference photos.
  2. Mix the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with the brown sugar and stir until well incorporated. Add in the egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly. Next, add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, stirring until you get a combined dough. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
  3. Make the Dough Balls: Divide the dough into two large portions, forming each into a huge ball. Reserve a little dough for tasting if you like. Roll each dough ball in granulated sugar to coat the outside evenly.
  4. Bake: Place the sugared dough balls on a baking sheet, spaced apart. They might feel a bit heavy or loose at this point, which is normal. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  5. Rest to Set: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to rest on the baking sheet for an additional 10 minutes. This resting time allows the cookies to set and finish baking gently.
  6. Enjoy: Serve and enjoy your warm, gooey, double chocolate cookies fresh from the oven and savor the bliss of homemade indulgence.

Notes

  • Use unsalted butter for better control over salt content.
  • Make sure not to melt the butter completely; it should be just softened and slightly melted.
  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder.
  • Adjust baking time slightly if you prefer softer or firmer cookies.
  • Allow the cookies to rest after baking to avoid them being too fragile.
