Double Dark Chocolate Cookies

Course: Drinks
Servings: 24

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup premium baking cocoa I used Ghirardelli
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter softened but still cool to the touch
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 3/4 sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl and reserve.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and regular sugar on medium-high speed, (using the paddle attachment) for about 3-5 minutes.
  • Lower the speed to medium-low, and add each egg one at a time, mixing thoroughly before the next.
  • Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
  • Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, in several increments, until the dough comes together. Scrape the bowl down with a rubber spatula halfway through.
  • Clean the dough from the attachment and fold in the dark chocolate chips by hand, until well blended.
  • Cover the bowl with a layer of plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes. This is a very important step in maintaining the chewiness of the cookie and to prevent too much spreading while baking.
  • While the dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 350F.
  • Reserve 2 non-stick cookie sheets or parchment lined sheets for baking.
  • After refrigeration, use a large soup spoon (or cookie scoop) and scoop out a generous 2 tablespoon portion of dough. Next, gently form into a crude ball. If you want a slightly flatter cookie, press down slightly on the dough once on the cookie sheet.
  • Space the cookies about two inches apart on each sheet (I ended up with 6 cookies per pan).
  • Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the edges are crisp and the tops are set. Allow to cool on the pan for 2 minutes, and then transfer to a cooling rack.
  • Refrigerate the remaining cookie dough between baking batches.

Notes

Enjoy the cookies on their own, or create a luscious dessert by sandwiching with your favorite ice cream!
