Double Chocolate Chip Cookies (No Brown Sugar)
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate chips)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional for variety)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
-
Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
-
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
-
Stir in Chocolate Chips: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips (and white chocolate chips if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
-
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
-
Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy your double chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips:
- If you prefer a chewier cookie, slightly underbake them.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
These cookies are rich, chocolaty, and sure to satisfy your sweet tooth without the need for brown sugar. Enjoy!
