These delicious double chocolate cookies are the perfect combination of crispy and chewy. Almost like a brownie.
My go-to recipe for cookies is my Chocolate Chunk Cookies because they turn out perfectly every time. So, I decided to tweak them with a bit of cocoa to make these epic Double Chocolate Cookies. They are so good!
The addition of the cocoa powder makes the cookies slightly firmer and fudgier than the original version. These are like a cross between a cookie and a brownie. Need I say more?
How to make Double Chocolate Cookies:
Preheat the oven to 170°C fan bake. Melt the butter in the microwave then add in the sugars, egg and vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Sift dry ingredients in then fold everything together until combined.
Pour in ¾ cup of chocolate drops and mix well. Roll the dough into balls and place on a lined baking tray.
Push down to 1cm thickness then bake for 8-10 minutes until crispy on the outside and soft in the centre.
Add remaining chocolate drops while the cookies are still hot. Remove to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm with a glass of milk or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Common questions about Double chocolate cookies:
Can I freeze these cookies? Absolutely. Place the uncooked cookie dough balls in a ziplock bag and keep in the freezer for up to three months. When you want to cook them, allow them to defrost then place on a baking tray and cook as normal.
Can I use other types of chocolate? For sure. Milk, dark or white chocolate in either drops, chips or chopped chocolate would all be delicious in these cookies

What’s the cool silver ball gadget you use to get the mixture out? Great to keep them all the same size by doing that too I would assume?
VJ cooks says
It's an ice cream scoop! Yes exactly, great to keep the cookie size consistent 🙂
Fay Bryant says
Would you be able to give me the size of this ice cream scoop - I bought one but it turned out far too big - sure makes life easier though.
VJ cooks says
Hi Fay, my scoop is 4cm in diameter. I bought it from Chef’s Complements here in Taupō but they are widely available including at Spotlight.
Anna says
I love this recipe. It's delicious and easy. I wonder if you would consider putting the flour in grams as well? I google it every time but love that everything else is in weights so I don't have to use so many dishes!
VJ cooks says
Hi Anna, it's an odd amount but I've added it in for you!
Anna says
Brilliant! Just gone to make these again and so excited to find the grams . Thank you!
VJ cooks says
You're welcome 🙂
Charlotte says
These look amazing! Do you know if they can be made with gluten free flour? Would I need to change any quantities?
VJ cooks says
I haven't tired these with gluten free flour sorry. Typically when I swap out plain flour for gluten free it's a 1:1 ratio. I would suggest refrigerating the rolled cookies for 20 minutes prior to baking to prevent potential spreading.
