Indulge in these rich and chewy dark chocolate chip cookies, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. With a blend of dark chocolate and chocolate chips, each bite is a heavenly treat.

Steps

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chopped dark chocolate and chocolate chips.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space in between.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden.
  9. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for Decadent Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • The cookies are ready when the edges look set and lightly golden while the centers still appear soft; they firm up as they cool.
  • Leave generous space between dough portions so spreading cookies do not merge.
  • For a more even bake, use a light-colored baking sheet and bake one sheet at a time.

Drink pairing

A cup of black coffee
Its roasted bitterness balances the cookies' rich chocolate and sweetness.

0% option: A cup of unsweetened black tea

Storage

Once completely cool, keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a sealed container.

Frequently asked questions

Why are the centers still soft when the cookies come out?

They continue to set as they cool on the baking sheet, so soft-looking centers are expected when the edges are set.

How can I tell if the cookies are overbaked?

Very dark edges and firm centers usually indicate they have baked too long; check near the lower end of the stated baking time.

Can I make the dough ahead?

Yes. Cover and refrigerate the dough, then let it sit briefly until easy to portion. Chilled dough may need a little longer to bake.
