At first glance, these chewy double chocolate chip cookies reveal their enticing appearance. The deep, dark brown color hints at the intense chocolate flavor that awaits your mouth. As you hold one in your hand, you can feel its slight firmness on the edges, giving way to a soft and tender center.
With the first bite, your teeth sink into the irresistible chewiness of the cookie. The outer layer offers a slight crunch, quickly giving way to a moist and fudgy interior. The combination of textures creates a delightful contrast that keeps you coming back for more.
Using exclusively brown sugar (instead of granulated sugar) gives these cookies an extra chewy texture and a unique caramel flavor. This recipe calls for melted butter which makes the dough slicker than you might be used to. To achieve the double chocolate aspect, I chose to melt chocolate over a double broiler instead of adding cocoa powder. All of this adds up to a thick, fudgy consistency that you’ll want to chill prior to baking.
Get ready… the get addicted to these Chewy Double Chocolate Chip Cookies!
