Description: These double chocolate, chewy cookies are simply irresistible! Borrowed from my friend Bella, a master baker, these cookies are the epitome of chocolatey goodness. With a rich cocoa base and gooey chocolate chips, they are a true delight for any sweet tooth.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups unsifted flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Prepare your baking sheets by greasing them lightly.
-
Combine the unsifted flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Set aside this dry mixture for later use.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes of beating with a mixer.
-
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Mix well until fully combined, ensuring a smooth texture.
-
Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick dough forms.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough, ensuring every bite is packed with chocolaty goodness.
-
Using a rounded tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
-
Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheets for 2 minutes after removing them from the oven. This helps them set before transferring.
-
Carefully transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container to maintain their chewy texture.
These Chocolate Chewy Cookies are perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a cozy night in, a bake sale, or a sweet treat for a gathering of friends and family. Enjoy the rich chocolate flavor and chewy texture that will have everyone reaching for seconds!
