I love chocolate, so it's safe to assume that anything double chocolate cookies has my name all over it. This recipe is a chocolate sugar cookie recipe adapted from my White Chocolate Dipped Christmas Cookie. It's a great base cookie recipe.
I'll link more of those adapted recipes below. But first I want to let you know how delicious this cookie recipe is. It's soft, chewy and delicious. The cookie uses 2 kinds of fats, both butter and vegetable oil which makes all the difference.
This recipe also is a copycat of the Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Subway too. Yum!
I also use Dutch Process Cocoa for a deep dark brown color along with rich flavor. You could substitute Hershey's Cocoa Powder but the cookies won't be as dark and rich in chocolate.
Shopping List Needed
Fats: Both butter and Vegetable Oil are used in this recipe. This helps give a delightful texture of crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside
Sugars: A combination of white sugar and powdered sugar give a great balance of sweetness and keep the cookie soft
Flour: All purpose flour. The trick is in how to measure the flour. Use a Kitchen scale to properly measure ingredients.
If you do not have a scale then make sure to stir and lift the flour before gently scooping into measuring cup. Do not tap or shake the measuring cup to settle the flour. That will result in adding too much flour and cookies will be dry.
Additional Ingredients: Egg, Baking Soda, Baking Powder and Almond Extract. All pretty standard ingredients in the home and pantry.
Chocolate: As I mentioned I use Dutch Process cocoa along with Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips.
How to make Double Chocolate Cookies Recipe
Start with ingredients that are room temperature. Allowing butter and egg to sit at room temperature will make a difference when it comes to creaming the ingredients together.
Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees
In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and continue to cream together scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Slowly add vegetable oil.
Then add dry ingredients slowly a little at a time until mixed together. Hand stir in chocolate chips and get ready to scoop!
Prepare baking sheet with a sheet of parchment paper or use cooking spray. Scoop dough using a medium cookie scoop and drop onto cookie sheet.
Bake for 7-9 minutes and remove from oven allowing to cool before moving to wire rack to cool completely
Optional: Add additional chocolate chips to cookie dough on cookie sheet
How to Store Cookies
Cookies can be stored in a sealed container or Zip-loc bag for up to a week. They do not need to be refrigerated. Cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Pro Tips
When making cookies I find it best to use ingredients that are room temperature. This includes butter and eggs. Room temperature butter will cream with sugar and become light and fluffy where cold butter only tends to mash.
Hershey's Double Chocolate Chip Cookies are a favorite recipe by many. They are delicious hot out of the oven with a tall cold glass of milk. With each bite melted chocolate chips add to the richness of flavor. Something I truly love.
