Today on Sugar Spun Run I'll be showing you how to make double chocolate chip cookies.
Hey Sugar Spun Bakers. Sam here and
today I am sharing a super chocolaty recipe with you. This one is really easy
to make, no mixer required. So let's get right to it. Now before you begin you'll
want to pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Next you are going to
need a 1 cup of melted butter. So, so many of my cookie recipes start with melted
butter. So if you've made any of those you know, once you melt your butter you
need to let it cool. Let the butter cool for about 10 minutes
or so until it's no longer warm to the touch, because if it's too warm, it's
gonna melt our sugars and we're going to have a greasy messy cookie dough on our
hands. So we don't want that. So my butter is looking pretty good right here. So now
I'm going to add my sugar. You're going to need 1 and 1/4 cups of a firmly packed light brown sugar.
And a half cup of granulated sugar
And we'll just use our spatula to stir the butter and sugar together until everything is nicely combined.
Next we'll add one egg, plus one egg yolk. We are omitting that second white
because that would make our cookies a little more cakey, and a little more dry
than I like them to be. I like nice fudgy dense cookies.
My yolk broke here so let me scrape that in.
We'll also add one and a half teaspoons of vanilla extract.
We'll stir this together.
If you see any lumps in your brown sugar, just use your
spatula to smash them against the side of the bowl to break them up.
Now set your way ingredients aside and your going to need a separate bowl for your
dry ingredients. You're going to need a 2 and 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour,
and we're going to add 1/2 cup of natural cocoa powder.
2 teaspoons of cornstarch,
A teaspoon of baking powder,
3/4 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
And I also like to add a 1/2 teaspoon of instant coffee grounds. This just really
helps bring out the chocolate flavor in the cookies. It's not going to make your cookies taste like coffee.
We'll just whisk these together until they're completely combined.
Now let's grab our butter mixture and we are going to
gradually add our flour cocoa powder mixture to the butter mixture. I like to
add this in about three or four parts just to make it easier to stir everything together.
And because this cookie dough is made with melted butter it's so easy to combine everything by hand.
So our cookie dough base is made
with cocoa powder. So that's chocolatey. So in order for these to be double
chocolate, of course, you need another form of chocolate. I am going to be using dark
chocolate chips. You can use semi-sweet chocolate chips instead. You'll need
about 2 cups total for this recipe I'm only going to add about 1 and 3/4 cup of
chips into the batter right now. I'm going to reserve the rest for later.
I'll stir these in.
So once you have everything combined, you are going to need a one and a half
tablespoon size cookie scoop. We're just going to scoop rounded spoonfuls of
dough, and you could just drop this directly on the baking sheet, but because
I like my cookies to look nice and round and uniform, I'm just going to briefly
roll them in my hands before placing on the baking sheet.
And this dough is a little bit soft that's fine .
We'll bake these in our 350 degree fahrenheit preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes.
Now remember those chocolate chips that we reserved from earlier? Within one to two minutes of these
cookies coming out of the oven I like to go ahead and just gently press a few
chocolate chips into the tops of each cookie. This is totally optional. You can
of course just mix these cookies, or mix these chocolate chips, in with your
cookie dough. I just think this gives them a really nice bakery style look.
Makes it really pretty for pictures. I know not everybody takes pictures of
their cookies like I do but, I just think it makes them look nice.
You'll want to let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before you dig in.
That's all there is to making these super rich, chocolatey, double chocolate cookies. If
you guys try this one out I would love to hear what you think. As you know I
always love hearing from you. Thank you so much for watching and I'll see you next time.
So good!
