Double Chocolate Chip Cookies - Tastes Better From Scratch (original) (raw)

We love everything about these jumbo, bakery-style Double Chocolate Chip Cookies. They're thick and chewy, easy to make, and are a fraction of your local bakery cookie cost.

Some of my other favorite cookie recipes include I these Biscoff Cookies, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies, or Chocolate Mint Cookies!

I am your A-typical chocolate lover that will always pick a jumbo, Double Chocolate Chip Cookie over any other baked good on the table. (With the caveat that the cookie is homemade–this is an important distinction! I'm never tempted by a store-bought cookie).

I particularly love that these chocolate cookies are giant, thick and chewy, and I love how affordable they are to make from home. Cookie shops charge over $4 per cookie! Save the money and make a big, delicious batch to share with your friends.

How to make Double Chocolate Chip Cookies:

Make Chocolate Cookie Dough: Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt to medium bowl. In a seperate bowl cream together butter, sugar and brown sugar, then add eggs and vanilla and mix until combined. Gradually add flour mixture to wet ingredients and stir in chocolate chips.
