This recipe for double chocolate cookies is really the best one for trying at home. I have tried these cookies many times and the recipe I am sharing here has many tweaks from all the trials and truly a tried and tested recipe.
You will absolutely love these chocolate cookies that are slightly chewy with crispy edges. The bitter sweet chocolate chunks are a delight to bite in.
To make double chocolate cookies I have used stone ground whole wheat flour used for parathas and rotis. Though you can use plain flour in this recipe I recommend you use whole wheat flour while making for toddlers and kids. Also I am sharing few tips and suggestions for making best cookies.
Tips For Making Best Double Chocolate Cookies.
- Use salted butter or do not forget to add a fat pinch of salt in the dough. Adding salt rounds of the flavor and taste.
- Do not over grease the baking tray. Just rub with very small amount of butter.
- Always use butter for this double chocolate cookies. Do not replace with margarine or oil.
- This recipe uses two types of sugar and I recommend the same. Adding light brown sugar or palm sugar gives a wonderful flavor and taste.
- Use very good quality flour and cocoa powder. The cookies spread while baking so arrange accordingly.
- Use very good quality dark chocolate in this recipe. I used 70% cocoa bitter sweet chocolate here.
I prefer to make cakes and cookies at home mostly. The reason is obvious that we have better control over ingredients and sugar. I mostly use whole wheat flour in baking and the results have been so far so good. Homemade cookies also make best snack for school.

How To Make Double Chocolate Cookies Recipe (Step By Step)
1. Preheat oven at 180C or 350F. Also slightly grease a cookie tray. You can also line the tray with parchment paper.
2. Add soft butter and sugars into a mixing bowl. Also add vanilla. Cream them together until fluffy and light. You can use an electric beater or wired whisk.
3. Mix wheat flour, cocoa powder and baking powder well in another bowl.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter and mix. You may add 1-2 tablespoons milk or water if the dough is very dry. I did not use either.
5. Now fold the chocolate chunks to the cookie dough. Chill the dough in refrigerator for 20 minutes.
6. Scoop out 15 equal balls from the chilled dough. I used 1 tablespoon measuring spoon for uniform size.
7. Flatten the balls slightly and arrange in the cookie tray. the cookies will spread so leave some space between them.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes.
9. Remove the cookies from oven when they are slightly soft to touch. They will look under baked and it is the right time to remove them from oven. The cookies will further cook on cooling.
10. Once the cookies are off the oven, cool them in the cookie sheet for 3-4 minutes. Then remove and cool completely in a wire rack. Store double chocolate cookies in airtight container and serve as required.
