Classic Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Classic Double Chocolate Chip Cookies are a real classic and this recipe will not disappoint – they are moist chewy and a wonderful treat for chocolate lovers everywhere!  These cookies have double the chocolate – Cocoa powder and chocolate chips (both whole & melted that’s mixed into the batter).

Nothing beats a good old fashioned chocolate chip cookie. I think we can all agree on that, and my Classic Chocolate Chip Recipe is a favorite in this house, but a girl’s gotta work and unless it’s a special occasion, I rarely get to bake recipes that aren’t new creations.

My husband has a chocolate addiction.  He says he can live without it, but I have my doubts.  It’s his only vice (although he’ll tell you he doesn’t have any).

I was starting to suspect that every time I baked a muffin or cake, he secretly wished it was something chocolate.  With that in mind, I decided to create the most chocolaty cookie I could.  This was the end result.  Needless to say, they did not disappoint!

To make them, start with melting 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips on medium power in 30 second intervals until just melted.

Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.

beat butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until creamy. Add melted chocolate and mix until combined.

Add egg and vanilla extract and mix to combine well.Add the melted chocolate.

Mix until combined followed by the dry ingredients.

Fold in the chocolate chips.

Line the cookie sheets with baking paper. Using tablespoon drop the dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 12 – 14 minutes until tops have cracked.

Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes. Remove to wire rack to cool completely.

Baking Tips:

• If you like your cookies thicker and a bit more chewy, you can refrigerate the dough before baking anywhere from 1 hour – 1 day.
• The raw cookie dough can be frozen and thawed to bake when ever you’d like.
