These Ultimate Fudgy Double Chocolate Cookies are rich, fudgy, and packed with deep chocolate flavor, perfect for satisfying any chocolate craving with a soft, slightly cakey texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (can substitute almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder (optional but recommended)
  • 3/4 cup (130g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (85g) dark chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stove until just melted, then let it cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and shiny, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until the batter is glossy and thick.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks evenly.
  8. Use a medium cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges look set but centers are still slightly soft and jiggle.
  10. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use melted but cooled butter to avoid cooking the eggs prematurely. Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies fudgy rather than cakey. Chill dough for 20-30 minutes if cookies spread too much. Baking time varies by oven; start checking at 9 minutes. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
