Rich and fudgy double chocolate cookies

If you're a chocolate lover, these rich and fudgy double chocolate cookies are the perfect treat for you. Packed with chocolate candies and enhanced with dry cocoa powder, they offer a delightful burst of chocolate in every bite. This simple recipe requires minimal ingredients and effort, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced bakers.

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, cocoa powder, salt, and sugar until well combined. This ensures an even distribution of ingredients to prevent clumping.
3. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, lightly beat the egg whites until frothy, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Add the vegetable oil to the egg whites and mix until well combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg white mixture. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until you achieve a smooth and thick batter. Ensure that there are no lumps of dry ingredients remaining.
5. Fold in Chocolate Candies:
- Gently fold in the chocolate candies into the batter, being careful not to over-mix. This will distribute the candies evenly throughout the batter.
6. Scoop and Shape Cookies:
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. The dough will spread slightly during baking, so give them room to expand.
7. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked. The centers of the cookies will look slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool.
8. Cool:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve:
- Once cooled, your Rich and Fudgy Double Chocolate Cookies are ready to enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.

Indulge yourself with these decadent double chocolate cookies and share them with your friends and family for an extra touch of joy. These cookies are sure to become a favorite in your household, satisfying every chocolate craving with their rich and fudgy goodness. Happy baking!

What can I use instead of egg whites in this recipe?

You can use aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas) as a substitute for egg whites. Use approximately 3 tablespoons of aquafaba for each egg white.

How do I know if the cookies are done baking?

The cookies are done when the edges are set, the tops are slightly cracked, and the centers look slightly underbaked. They will firm up as they cool.

Tips:

- Chill the batter for at least 30 minutes before baking if you want a thicker, chewier texture.

- Use a cookie scoop to ensure evenly sized cookies for consistent baking.

- Keep an eye on the cookies during baking since oven temperatures may vary; they should be set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.

- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely; this helps them firm up and hold their shape.
