Whether you're baking them for a special occasion or just to satisfy your sweet tooth, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer or around 5 minutes by hand.
3. Add Vanilla and Egg:
- Add the vanilla extract and egg to the creamed mixture. Beat well until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or in the microwave (at 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth). Allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the wet ingredients.
5. Combine Chocolate with Wet Mixture:
- Pour the melted dark chocolate into the wet mixture and mix thoroughly until everything is well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and dry cocoa powder. Gradually add this to the chocolate mixture, mixing until a thick dough forms. You might need to use your hands towards the end to fully incorporate the ingredients.
- Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, scoop out portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking tray, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each ball with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft. Baking times may vary, so keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking tray for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, your double-choc cookies are ready to be enjoyed with a glass of milk or a warm beverage!
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to avoid sticking and ensure even baking.
- Keep an eye on the baking time. Overbaking can make the cookies dry; they should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven.
- Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for longer.
There you have it—delicious, homemade double-choc cookies that are sure to impress. Perfectly chewy with a rich chocolate flavor, these cookies are best enjoyed with a glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee. Happy baking!
