I wanted an extra chocolaty cookie, so I made these double chocolate chip cookies with the help of cocoa powder and chocolate chips. The cookies are sweet with chocolate that melts in your mouth with a dash of salt added to the top of each cookie to really compliment it’s sweetness. Adding salt to chocolate is one of my favorite secrets in baking.

You can use chocolate chips or you can chop up a baking bar or chocolate wafers (that’s what I did below).

How Do You Make Double Chocolate Chip Cookies?

Even though double chocolate chip cookies taste amazing, they are surprisingly easy to make. Just make up some batter by mixing together butter, white sugar and brown sugar with a hand mixer. Add to that batter eggs and vanilla and keep mixing. Stir in cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until fully combined. Fold in chocolate chips and stir with spoon to evenly distribute.

Roll into tablespoon-sized balls and place on cookie sheets and they are ready to bake for about 10 minutes. After they are baked, immediately sprinkle cookies with a small amount of salt on top. Very gently press down with a fork on each cookie to give it a cookie shape. Let the cookies cool for 15 minutes and they’ll harden up and be ready to go!

These double chocolate chip cookies are a personal favorite of mine. I can’t resist the rich chocolate taste, the gooey chocolate chips and the pillowy soft texture. Now the hard part is not to eat them all at once!

Make these for the holidays or any time you get a chocolate craving!

So next time you’re craving some cookies make these Double Chocolate Chip Cookies. No snow day is required! Enjoy my favorite double chocolate chip cookies!
