How to make the best Double Chocolate Chip Cookies?
- Step 1: Combine all the dry ingredients: cocoa powder, AP flour, baking soda, salt, and coffee powder.
- Step 2: Melt butter in a microwave and whisk in brown sugar.
- Step 3: Add the eggs and vanilla essence and whisk until it is smooth. You may use a mixer if you like, but not necessary.
- Step 4: Add the whisked dry ingredients from step 1 in two additions and mix well using a spatula.
- Step 5: Add the chocolate chips and make a smooth dough.
- Step 6: Scoop out small balls and place them on a baking sheet. You can refrigerate after lining with a clingwrap or bake immediately.
- Step 7: Bake at 400 deg for about 7 to 8 minutes.
- Step 8: Cool on a cooling rack and serve.
Useful Tips
- Don't overbake: For soft, fudgy cookies, take them out of the oven at around 7-8 minutes. They will continue to set as they cool, as in DoubleTree Hilton cookies; this helps achieve chewy centers.
- Whisk/sift the dry ingredients: This helps remove lumps, evenly distributes the cocoa powder, and gives the cookies a lighter, smoother texture.
- Chill the dough: Refrigerating the dough helps deepen the flavor and gives you thicker, gooier cookies with better texture. That said, you can also bake it immediately.
- You don't need a stand mixer for this recipe, but you can use one to beat the butter, brown sugar, and eggs if it makes the process easier.
- Adjust the shape: If you prefer flatter cookies instead of domed ones, gently flatten the rolled balls after chilling so they spread slightly while baking and bake at 350 deg for 11 minutes rather than at 400 deg for 8 minutes.
- Use the right cocoa powder: Always use natural unsweetened cocoa powder, not Dutch-processed, as this ensures the best flavor balance and proper reaction with the leavening agents like baking soda.
