This recipe for double chocolate chip cookies makes regular chocolate chip cookies even better! Made with natural cocoa powder and a whole lot of semi sweet dark chocolate chips, they are rich and indulgent. With chewy centers and crisp edges, these cookies are the best because there is no chill time required and they can be ready in less than 30 minutes!
Preheat the oven to 350° F and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium sized microwave safe bowl melt the 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp butter. Add the 2/3 cup brown sugar and 2 tbsp white sugar and mix till smooth.
Add the 2 egg yolks and 1 tsp vanilla extract and mix again.
Add in the 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup cocoa powder,1/4 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp kosher salt and stir till dough forms.
Stir in the 1 cup chocolate chips. Leave out a handful of chocolate on the side and add the rest into the batter. Mix until evenly combined.
Scoop out the dough using a 3 tbsp cookie scoop, or using two tablespoons for one cookie dough ball. Press the leftover chocolate pieces all over the tops of each cookie.
Place on a cookie sheet leaving 1.5 inch space between each one and bake for 12-14 minutes or until the bottom of the cookie is golden brown.
To make perfectly round cookies- immediately after baking place a cookie cutter or bowl that is larger than the cookie and move your hand in a fast circular motion to round the cookies into perfect circles.
Notes
Try adding in other kinds of chocolate chips like milk or white chocolate.
