⭐ Ingredients (for the Best Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies!)
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 eggs
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Optional: Peanut Butter M&M’s or chopped nuts for topping
👩🍳 Instructions: How to Make Chewy Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for best results.
- In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
- Beat in eggs and vanilla until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Slowly mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, saving a few to press on top of each cookie before baking.
- Scoop cookie dough with a spoon or cookie scoop for even sizes, and slightly flatten each cookie on the pan.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until edges are just set but the center still looks soft. Do not overbake!
- Let cool on the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
🔁 Tips, Variations & Storage
- Microwave tip: Reheat cookies for 10–15 seconds to bring back that just-baked, gooey texture. It melts the chocolate chips all over again!
- Freezer-friendly: These cookies freeze well in airtight containers. Great for meal prepping desserts or making frozen cookie sandwiches with ice cream.
- Customize it: My husband Tim tops half of the batch with Peanut Butter M&M’s—a fun crunch that complements the soft chocolate cookie. Try adding white chocolate chips or chopped walnuts, too!
