Step-by-Step Recipe for Double Chocolate Fudge Cookies

1. Gather Your Equipment

• Large mixing bowl
• Medium bowl
• Hand mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer
• Baking sheet lined with parchment paper
• Large cookie scoop
• Wire rack

2. Prep Your Ingredients

• Bring all ingredients to room temperature for even mixing.
• Preheat your oven to 350°F/175°C.

3. Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar using a hand mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Add the large eggs (one at a time) and the vanilla extract, mixing on low speed until combined.

4. Combine the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour mixture, natural cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

5. Create the Cookie Batter

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed. Stir in the melted chocolate and fold in the chocolate chunks and mix-ins using a wooden spoon.

6. Shape the Dough

Using a large cookie scoop, form cookie dough balls and place them on the cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. For smaller cookies, use a small cookie scoop.

7. Bake to Perfection

Bake the cookies on the baking tray at the preheated oven temperature for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked.

8. Cool and Enjoy

Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm with a glass of milk for the ultimate indulgence.
