Double Chocolate Cookies

Prep: 15 min · Bake: 10 min · Makes ~22 cookies

Ingredients

• 225 g butter, softened
• 200 g sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 250 g flour
• 60 g unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 250 g dark chocolate, roughly chopped

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets.
2. Cream the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
4. Sift together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt, then fold into the wet mixture.
5. Stir in the chopped dark chocolate.
6. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls onto the trays, spacing them well.
7. Bake 9–10 minutes — they should still look soft in the middle.
8. Cool on the tray for 5 minutes before moving them.

Tip

A small pinch of espresso powder deepens the chocolate flavour without making the cookies taste like coffee.
