Total Time: 27 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of softened unsalted butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 cup of packed brown sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and continue to mix until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This will help to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.
- Fold in 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your homemade Mrs. Fields Double Rich Chocolate Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for smoother, more evenly mixed dough
- Don't overmix the batter - this can make cookies tough instead of tender
- Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips for maximum flavor
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker, more structured cookies
- 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 in an airtight container to maintain freshness and soft texture
- For extra indulgence, sprinkle sea salt on top before baking for a gourmet touch
