How do you make a Double Chocolate Cookie?
A major bonus to this Double Chocolate Cookie is that you can mix everything together in one bowl. The dough is thick so I recommend using a stand or hand mixer. Here’s the simple directions to making your own chocolate cookie.
- Cream the butter and sugars together until smooth and fluffy. Mix about 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla then mix again until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients- flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt- careful to start the mixer on low because flour and cocoa has a tendency to go everywhere. (I have lots of experience in a flour explosion)
- Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed, then add the chocolate chips. Mix again on low just to incorporate the chocolate chips
- Scoop the dough out onto the baking sheet in large scoops
- Top with even more chocolate chips and bake!
