Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

These Double Chocolate Chip Cookies have a slightly crisp outer shell and are chewy and gooey on the inside almost like a brownie. Pull the first batch out of the oven in less than 30 minutes!

If you love Brownie Cookies, then you’re going to love these Double Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies! Plus they make a huge batch so they’re great for bake sales, parties, and gifting!

Also, instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips, Double Chocolate Chip Cookies are loaded with both milk and dark chocolate chips. These get ooey and gooey when the cookies are fresh from the oven and it’s so good!

Plus, this recipe also calls for brown sugar and white sugar, giving even more depth to the flavor.

So if you’re ever looking for an alternative to your usual Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe, these Double Chocolate Chip Cookies definitely fit the bill! 

What Are Double Chocolate Chip Cookies? 

This decadent Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe doesn’t just have double the chocolate chips (both dark and milk chocolate). Thanks to the addition of cocoa powder and chocolate pudding mix, the cookie is also chocolate-flavored.

Needless to say, they’re a real treat for chocolate lovers! 

How Do I Make Double Chocolate Chip Cookies? 

Luckily, it’s easy to make Double Chocolate Chip Cookies from scratch. The recipe calls for pudding mix which helps make it chewy, but don’t prepare the pudding before adding it, you just add the powder mix. If you follow this recipe, you’ll be sinking your teeth into a chocolaty chewy cookie in no time!

1. Preheat oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until fully combined and scrape down the sides as needed.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients a 1/2 cup at a time while mixing on low until fully combined.
6. Then, fold in the chocolate chips.
7. If you’re prepping the recipe in advance, you can chill the dough for up to 3 days before baking.
8. If baking right away, use a medium cookie scoop to portion our your cookie dough, placing scoops about 2-inches apart on the baking sheet.
9. Bake the cookies for 9 to 11 minutes, remove from oven and allow to cool for 2 minutes on the pan before transferring to a cooling rack.

Can I Make Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Without Cocoa Powder?

If you’re ready to make this rich recipe, then realize you’re out of cocoa powder, there are a couple of things you can do.

1. The unsweetened cocoa powder can be replaced by Dutch-process cocoa, but you’ll have to add ⅛ tsp of cream of tartar, white vinegar, or lemon juice for every 3 tablespoons of Dutch-process cocoa needed. (It has to do with a difference in acidity.)
2. You can also use 1 ounce of unsweetened baking chocolate for every 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Melt the chocolate and add it in when you’re creaming the eggs, sugar, and butter. You’ll just have to omit a tablespoon of butter to compensate for the added fat content of the chocolate. 

These are so good, my husband Matt even says these are the second best cookies I’ve ever made. (If you’re curious, they’re right behind my Bourbon Toffee Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies, another must-try cookie recipe.)

Notes

• Baked cookies will last 2 to 3 weeks when stored in an air-tight container at room temperature. 
• Baked Cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months. Squeeze any excess air out of the bag before freezing. Place on the counter for thawing. 
• Dough may be chilled for up to 3 days before baking, but allow it to set at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes to make it easier to scoop.
• If leftover cookies begin getting hard, place a piece of bread in the bag with them to soften them up.
• The unsweetened cocoa powder can be replaced by Dutch-process cocoa, but you’ll have to add ⅛ tsp of cream of tartar, white vinegar, or lemon juice for every 3 tablespoons of Dutch-process cocoa needed. (It has to do with a difference in acidity.)
• You can also use 1 ounce of unsweetened baking chocolate for every 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Melt the chocolate and add it in when you’re creaming the eggs, sugar, and butter. You’ll just have to omit a tablespoon of butter to compensate for the added fat content of the chocolate.
