Total Time: 32 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (softened)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Make sure there are no lumps in the dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.
- Fold in the chocolate chunks using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly cracked. The cookies will continue to cook on the baking sheet after being removed from the oven.
- Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious Double Chocolate Chunk Share Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- Make sure your butter is truly softened but not melted - room temperature is key for the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough! Mix just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender.
- Use high-quality chocolate chunks for the most luxurious flavor experience.
- For extra indulgence, try mixing different types of chocolate chunks (dark, milk, semi-sweet).
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain their soft, chewy texture.
- For maximum chocolate intensity, slightly underbake the cookies - they'll continue cooking on the hot baking sheet.
