Ingredients (Makes approx. 12 cookies)
- 120g unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 90g brown sugar
- 70g granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 120g cake flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 25g cocoa powder
- 1g black cocoa powder (optional, for deeper color and flavor)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 110g white chocolate chips
- 90g dark chocolate chips or chunks
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Cream the softened unsalted butter in a bowl using a whisk or electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Ensure the butter is softened but not melted, as this can affect the dough’s consistency.
Step 2
Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the butter. Beat them together until the mixture is light and fluffy, resembling an ivory color. This process usually takes about 3-5 minutes and helps create a tender cookie.
Step 3
Add the room temperature egg and mix well until fully incorporated and the batter is smooth. Avoid overmixing at this stage. Stir in the vanilla extract for added aroma and flavor complexity.
Step 4
Sift the cake flour, cocoa powder, black cocoa powder (if using), baking soda, and salt together into a separate bowl. Sifting helps to aerate the dry ingredients and prevent lumps, ensuring an even distribution in the batter.
Step 5
Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold them together until just combined, with no dry flour streaks visible. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.
Step 6
Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and dark chocolate chips (or chunks) using a spatula. Distribute them evenly throughout the dough without crushing them.
Step 7
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. This chilling period allows the flavors to meld and makes the dough easier to handle and shape. For an even better flavor, you can chill it for 2-3 hours or even overnight.
Step 8
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Use an ice cream scoop or two spoons to portion the dough into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring ample space between each cookie (about 2 inches apart), as they will spread significantly during baking.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The cookies are ready when the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers still look slightly soft. Baking time may vary depending on your oven and the size of the cookies.
Step 10
Once removed from the oven, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. This allows the centers to finish setting. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. They are delicious warm, but letting them cool fully will give you the best chewy and slightly crisp texture.
Step 11
Enjoy your delicious homemade chewy double chocolate chip cookies! They are perfect with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee. 🙂
