Decadent Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• White chocolate chips (1 cup)
• Semi-sweet chocolate chips (1 cup)
• Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
• Baking soda (1 teaspoon)
• Cocoa powder (3/4 cup)
• All-purpose flour (2 1/4 cups)
• Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
• Eggs (2 large)
• Brown sugar (3/4 cup, packed)
• Granulated sugar (1 cup)
• Unsalted butter (1 cup, softened)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This process aerates the butter, which promises a tender crumb in your cookies.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. This dry mix is your secret weapon for a perfectly chocolatey cookie.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. This will help keep your cookies tender and light.
6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and white chocolate chips, assuring you'll get a taste of chocolate in every bite.
7. Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to drop rounded dollops of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, ensuring plenty of space between each cookie for spreading.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges have set and the centers are still soft and slightly undercooked. This is the secret to a soft, chewy cookie.
9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. This will ensure your cookies don't become too soft or crumbly.
10. Enjoy your Decadent Double Chocolate Chip Cookies as is or with a glass of cold milk!
