How do I make Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies?
- Melt bittersweet chocolate and butter together in a large mixing bowl.
- Add both sugars and stir to combine.
- Stir in one egg at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Add baking soda and salt and mix again.
- Add flour and mix well to combine – but don’t over mix.
- Pour in chocolate chips and stir to evenly disburse throughout the cookie dough.
- Scoop the dough onto parchment-lined cookie sheets. Note that these cookies spread some as they bake so leave at least 2-inches between each scoop.
- Bake until slightly firm around the edges and still slightly soft in the middle.
- Cool on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes, then move to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Tips & Tricks
- If you don’t own a microwave, you can melt the chocolate and butter together on the stove.
