I love this recipe so much that I had to share my twist on Double Chocolate Chip Cookies. Blending unsweetened cocoa powder, a dash of espresso, and semisweet with milk chocolate chips creates a profoundly rich cookie full of intense chocolate flavor that is simply magical. Every bite captivates imagination.
I’ve been experimenting in the kitchen lately and wanted to share my latest obsession: Bakery Style Double Chocolate Chip Cookies. These cookies are everything a true chocoholic dreams about – fudgy, gooey, and absolutely gigantic!
When I mixed 2 cups all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, I knew I was on to something epic. I added a touch of baking soda and salt along with 1 cup unsalted butter and just the right mix of granulated and light brown sugar.
Two large eggs and a splash of vanilla extract made the dough extra rich, and a hint of espresso powder really boosted that chocolate flavor. I then folded in both semisweet and milk chocolate chips until my dough was loaded with chunks of melty goodness.
These cookies remind me a bit of those favorite recipes I grew up with, like a perfect mix of Paleo Double Chocolate Cookies and classic Resepi Biskut. Give it a try if you’re into truly decadent, double chocolate treats.
Enjoy!

4. I appreciate how simple the instructions are. Even when I mess up a little or rush through a step, the end result is still really delicious and makes me feel proud of my baking.

How to Make this
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a couple baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt.

FAQ
Bakery Style Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe Substitutions and Variations
- For the 2 cups all-purpose flour, you could try using whole wheat pastry flour for a nuttier taste without messing up the texture too much.
- If you run out of unsalted butter, a light coconut oil works pretty good but it might add a subtle coconut flavor to your cookies.
- Instead of granulated sugar, you might experiment with coconut sugar which gives a richer taste, although it can make the dough a bit sticky.
- Don’t have large eggs? Mix 2 tablespoons of flaxseed meal with 6 tablespoons of water and let it sit for a few minutes to use as a vegan replacement.
Pro Tips
1. Try not to overmix the dough when adding the dry ingredients. Once everything is combined, stopping early will help keep your cookies soft and chewy instead of making them tough.
2. Make sure your butter and eggs are actually at room temp before you start. This helps them blend better with the sugars and creates a more even texture in your cookies.
3. For cookies that bake evenly, scoop the dough into roughly the same size balls. That way they spread out at the same rate in the oven and you don’t end up with a burnt batch alongside some undercooked ones.
4. If you’re into super gooey middles, take your cookies out of the oven when the edges are set but the centers still look a bit soft. They’ll continue to firm up a little as they cool, giving you that perfect fudgy bite.
