Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Grab a glass of milk and enjoy these over the top Double Chocolate Chip Cookies! Experience an intense, decadent cookie made with Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa. Or enjoy a cloud-like cookie by using regular cocoa powder. Either way, they are awesome! And if you are a chocolate lover, top each cookie with chocolate chips. Then indulge in a Double Chocolate Chip Cookie warm out of the oven with its gooey chocolate chips in every bite! You can thank me later!
Chocolate Cookie Recipe
First determine which version of the Double Chocolate Chip Cookies to bake. For a light, soft cookie, use regular cocoa powder. Whereas dark cocoa powder produces a soft cookie that is dense and intense. Regardless of the version, I use dark chocolate chips but milk chocolate chips would also work.

Gather your baking ingredients and start with creaming the butter, mixing in the brown sugar and vanilla. Before adding the dry ingredients, sift to remove any lumps. Then mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients alternating with the buttermilk. Lastly, stir in the chocolate chips. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for two hours or even overnight. Chilling the dough makes it much easier to form the cookies. When ready to make the cookies, mix together some flour and cocoa powder to flour your hands. I like to mix both together to avoid having white flour on chocolate cookies which tends to remain after baking.
Scoop out desired size of cookie dough to form into a ball placing two inches apart on a cookie pan lined with parchment paper. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 9 to 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking pan to set before moving to a cooling rack. The cookies are soft, especially with all the melted chocolate chips. Moving too soon can result in a cookie blowout! If adding chocolate chips to top the cookies, increase the cooling time once out of the oven. Typically I place them in the refrigerator to properly set.
