Description
Delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies made with melted chocolate and both dark and milk chocolate chips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder (I used dutch process)
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 4 oz Semi sweet chocolate bar (I used Lindt 70% bar)
- 1 cup Light Brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup White granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
- 2 Large eggs (room temperature)
- 3/4 cup Dark chocolate chips (I used Ghirardelli)
- 3/4 cup Milk chocolate chips (I used Ghirardelli)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate bar in 20-second intervals, mixing well in between.
- Using a mixer in a large mixing bowl, beat the melted butter, brown sugar, and sugar on high speed for 2 minutes until it lightens in color.
- Add in the melted chocolate, eggs, and vanilla. Beat on high speed for 1 minute.
- Add in the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined. Add in the dark chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips and mix.
- Let the dough sit for 10 minutes before scooping. This allows the gluten to form which helps with spreading; it also makes the dough less sticky.
- Prepare two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Use a large cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto the cookie sheets. Top all the cookie dough balls with extra chocolate chips.
- Chill all of the cookie dough balls in the fridge for 10 minutes while the oven preheats.
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Bake 6 cookie dough balls at a time for 13-15 minutes until the edges are set.
- Let the cookies sit on the hot pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
- The dough can be chilled for longer if needed to enhance flavors.
- For chewier cookies, do not overmix when adding dry ingredients.
- Experiment with different chocolate brands for variety in flavors.
