These Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies are thick, soft and loaded with double chocolate flavor. This is the best double chocolate cookie recipe ever!
For several years now I have been looking for the perfect chocolate cookies. I have made many different recipes and none of them were quite what I was looking for.
The biggest requirement for the perfect double chocolate chip cookie was a thick, chewy, soft drop cookie and it seemed like every recipe I attempted ended with flat, crispy disappointment. I actually gave up the search for a while. Last night, in a moment of chocolate-craving weakness, I decided to give it one more try.
SUCCESS! In a big kind of way! I have finally found the perfect chocolate cookie recipe!
Look at these little mounds of deliciousness:
These cookies really are what I have been dreaming of. They stayed thick and soft and are so decadent that a glass of milk is practically required to eat one.
So do I have you drooling yet? Do you want the recipe?
How do you make a chocolate cookie?
First I have to share with you the key to my success… before baking up the whole batch of cookies, I baked one test cookie. I am glad I did because I burned the bottom of my first test cookie! So I adjusted the cooking time and temperature and tried one more cookie, which turned out perfect. Then I was confident in filling up the pan and baking up the rest of the dough. By baking one test cookie, you will be able to adjust baking temperature and time to what will work best for you, your altitude and your oven.
These cookies were delicious right out of the oven when the chocolate chips were still ooey-gooey. They were also delicious when I had one for breakfast this morning. Hee hee! I like to put them in the microwave for 10 seconds just to warm up the chocolate again. You’ll definitely want a big glass of cold milk to go with them.
One last note: the type of cocoa powder you use will greatly impact the color and flavor of these cookies. I like the classic Hershey’s Unsweetened Cocoa Powder.

Best Ever Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter cold and cut into cubes
- 1 ¼ cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 2 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups chocolate chips I used jumbo Guittard milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Combine butter and sugar and beat for 2-3 minutes until fluffy. Blend in eggs one at a time. Add cocoa powder. By hand, add flour, salt and baking powder until just incorporated. Do not overwork the dough. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide dough into 12-15 pieces and roll into balls. Flatten slightly and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 12-13 minutes. Be careful not to overbake or the cookies will dry out. I would pull them out the minute the tops are no longer gooey looking.

These look fantastic! I know my daughter will appreciate me sharing this recipe with her because she is always on the lookout for the perfect cookie!
Marjory, it's one of my favorite things to do… test dozens of recipes until I find "the one." I hope your daughter will share a cookie with you when she tries them.
Oh man, these look so deliciously decadent!
These look fantastic!
Yum! That melty, ooey gooey chocolate looks so good right now — even if it is still morning!
Thank you for sharing and the good advice on how not to overcook it. Will try baking some now! Can't wait to see how my mine will turn out.
When you say cocoa powder, are you referring to unsweetened cocoa powder or Ghirardelli hot chocolate powder?
Unsweetened cocoa powder used for baking.
