Chewy and loaded with chocolate, these double chocolate chip cookies are heavenly! Is it a cookie or a brownie in cookie form? You choose.
Watch our step by step video!
These are my son's favorite cookies. He's 4 and calls them "black cookies with chocolate chips". Double chocolate chip cookies. Is there anything better? So chewy, soft, and delicious. Reminds me of a fudge brownie, only in cookie form. This is my favorite chocolate cookie dough base, and as you'll see below, I use it ALL THE TIME.
These cookies get their abundance of chocolate flavoring from chocolate chips and cocoa powder. Unlike some cocoa powder recipes, these are fudgy in texture and not dry at all. Perfection.
