Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Who doesn’t love chocolate chip cookies? These double chocolate chip cookies are soft, almost like a brownie with two types of chocolate chips…semi-sweet and white chocolate. 

There’s also a little surprise flavor in the cookies…coffee. However, you don’t need to worry that these cookies taste like coffee! You won’t even be able to detect it’s “coffee” you’re tasting.

The instant coffee granules help bring out the richness in the chocolate making these cookies extra delicious. In other words, the coffee enhances the flavor of the chocolate.

Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Ingredients

• 1 stick unsalted butter – melted
• Light brown sugar, 1/2 cup
• Granulated sugar, 1/2 cup
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 eggs
• Vanilla extract, 2 tsp. 
• 2/3 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• 1 3/4 cup All Purpose Flour
• 1/2 tsp. Instant Coffee Granules 
• Semi Sweet Mini Chocolate Chips, 3/ 4 cup
•  White Chocolate Chips, 3/4 cup

How to Combine the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, add the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, instant coffee granules and salt and mix until well combined.

Add in the eggs and vanilla and beat until creamy. 

How to Combine the Dry Ingredients

Mix in the flour and cocoa powder and beat until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and white chocolate chips.

How to Bake the Cookies

Using a cookie scoop, drop the dough onto your baking trays about 2 inches apart. The dough will NOT spread so if you prefer a pretty, round and flatter cookie then roll it in your hands and press it down before baking.

Otherwise, the cookies will have more of a drop appearance. Top with a few extra chocolate chips for a pretty look if you want.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, making sure you don’t over bake. The first sheet took 9 minutes and the second only took 8 minutes for me. Cool for a few minutes before moving to a cooling rack.

How to Store Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

• Once the cookies are baked and cooled, they can be stored in an air-tight container at room temperature for 3 days. 
• Use Parchment Baking Sheets between the layers of cookies in the air-tight container. 
• You can easily freeze this recipe! Place scoops of the cookie dough on a parchment lined baking sheet. Then place the baking sheet in the freezer to flash freeze for about 30 minutes. 
• Next, place the frozen cookie dough balls in a container or plastic bag until ready to bake. 
• Cookie dough balls can be frozen for up to three months.
