Chewy Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chewy Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies are moist, soft, and bursting with chocolate flavor! All you will need is 1 egg, 1 stick of butter, some brown sugar, salt, vanilla, unsweetened cocoa, flour, and chocolate chips. Why bother buying a box when you can make them at home?!
Chewy Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies
These chewy dark chocolate chip cookies are delicious. I don’t know about you, but I crave chocolate every day! And it can be anything, from a chocolate bar to a chocolate cookie.
So when I decided to make my usual batch of our chewy chocolate chip cookies, I only needed to add some unsweetened cocoa powder to my recipe, and voila! New recipe was born. For more chocolate chip cookies, be sure to try Chocolate Chip Coconut Cookies, and don’t miss Double Chocolate Espresso Cookies. These are sinfully good!
***Best of all, these cookies are made with all-natural and clean ingredients… no fillers… no palm oil… and, no preservatives!
Ingredients Needed for These Chewy Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies…
- Butter – you can use unsalted butter or cream butter.
- Brown sugar – I used light brown sugar, but you can use dark brown sugar instead.
- Granulated sugar – just a few tablespoons of sugar are added.
- Egg – one large egg is required for this recipe.
- Vanilla extract – of course, to enhance the flavors of the cookies.
- Salt – to balance the sugars.
- Baking powder and baking soda – to make these cookies rise.
- Unsweetened cocoa powder – to give them a rich chocolate flavor.
- Unbleached flour – is needed to make the cookie dough.
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips – to give them the extra chocolate flavor and crunch in every bite.
Recipe Baking Tips:
- Use a teaspoon, (or a small ice cream scoop) to grab some cookie dough to make balls. Then place them onto a cookie sheet (as I did in the photo).
- Do not flatten out the cookie dough. This will give you a “thicker” cookie, and a chewy texture.
- Do not overbake. So it’s best to keep an eye on them.
- Also, keep in mind, that all ovens vary. So when you start to smell the chocolate aroma from your oven, the cookies are almost done baking. This is when you will need to check on them.
- Never bake them on the lowest rack of the oven. Always bake cookies on the middle and upper racks. Never on the lowest rack, chocolate burns easily and will ruin the cookies.
Learn From Us
For the longest time, we would over bake them, and make these cookies crispy. But over the years and with our experience, we can tell you it’s best to keep an eye on the cookies while baking. You don’t want to overbake them. It’s best to under bake them 1 minute or so. This will ensure a chewy texture to the cookies.
Helpful Tip: Bake only 8 minutes for small cookies, and about 10 minutes for larger ones.
How To Store Them?
- Store these cookies in a sealed container, before they cool completely.
- Plus, you need to store these cookies while they are still warm, but not hot. Just warm enough to handle them.
- Also, line the bottom of the container with a sheet of wax or parchment paper. This will keep the cookies from sticking to the bottom of the container.
Bake, serve, and enjoy!
