How To Make Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees 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 little at a time while mixing on low until fully combined.

6. Then, fold in the chocolate chips.

7. Portion out the cookie dough and place them on the baking sheets with space between each mound.

8. Bake the cookies for 9 to 11 minutes; remove them from the oven. Allow them to cool for 2 minutes on the pan before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe Storage

These cookies can be left out for a few hours uncovered and will stay tender and fresh for about 3 days in an airtight container at room temperature. They will last for 1 to 2 weeks in a heat-sealed bag at room temperature.

Freezer Storage Instructions

For longer storage, you can also freeze these cookies! You will want to let the cookies cool completely to room temperature, then flash freeze them on a baking sheet for 1 hour before transfer to a freezer bag and squeezing out any excess air.

You don’t want to add the cookies straight to the bag because they are so tender they will break and smush, so flash freezing is a must.

What is the secret to chewy cookies?

A chewy cookie starts with its foundation and the way the butter, flour, leavening agents, eggs, and sugars are prepared, and the temperature they start at. However, this recipe goes the extra mile by using a pudding mix, which has cornstarch in it and yields soft and tender cookies.
