Chewy Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Your new go-to chocolate lover’s cookie: soft, decadent, and packed with double the chocolate. They disappear fast, so make a double batch!
These double chocolate chip cookies are the ultimate treat for anyone who loves a rich, fudgy dessert. With a soft, chewy texture and just the right amount of spread, they’re basically brownies in cookie form. Cocoa powder deepens the flavor while melty chocolate chips add bursts of sweetness in every bite.
The best part? This recipe makes a generous batch so you’ll have plenty to share (or not!). Bake some for after-school snacks, stash a few in the freezer for rainy days, or bring them to your next gathering and watch them vanish. Easy to make, irresistibly soft, and loaded with chocolate… these cookies will become a household favorite in no time.
Ingredients:
2 cups margarine (softened, not melted)
2 cups brown sugar (light or dark, packed)
1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
4 large eggs (room temp)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
5 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons salt
3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream margarine + sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the margarine, brown sugar, white sugar, and molasses until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
Add eggs & vanilla: Mix in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
Mix dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add to the wet mixture until just combined (don’t overmix).
Stir in chocolate chips: Fold in the chips evenly.
Scoop & flatten slightly: Drop ¼ cup dough balls (big cookies help them stay soft) onto baking sheets. Lightly press each ball down with your palm for a flat cookie. Leave space — these spread!
Bake 11–13 minutes, until edges are just golden but centers look slightly underdone.
Cool on pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack. The centers will finish setting as they cool, leaving you with soft, chewy middles and flat, bakery-style cookies.
