Classic Double-Chocolate Chip Cookies

Classic double-chocolate chip cookies are a decadent treat that combines the rich, velvety taste of dark chocolate with the soft, chewy texture of a classic cookie. This indulgent pairing makes them perfect for the holiday season or any time you’re craving something sweet. With a double dose of chocolate from cocoa powder and semisweet chocolate chips, these cookies are guaranteed to satisfy your chocolate cravings.

Cooking Steps

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This guarantees that your cookies bake evenly.
2. Prepare Baking Sheets: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or leave them ungreased.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
4. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture until well combined.
6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are still a few lumps.
7. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips using a spatula. Confirm the chips are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
8. Scoop Dough: Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
9. Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
10. Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them sit on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Enjoy: Once cool, serve your delicious classic double-chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage, and enjoy the rich, chocolatey flavor!
