Any chocolate lover would cherish this Double Chocolate cookie. This cookie has chocolate in all forms. I am not a big chocolate person, but this cookie got my taste buds too. I must confess that I was not in my best form when I started making this cookie.

My son wanted to help me in the kitchen, so I started thinking about what he could make with me. I decided to try one of the recipes that I came across on the Internet. All this happened after dinner at about 8.30 pm, and we began the chocolate journey.

Preparation time - 30 mins
Cooking time - 15 mins/batch of cookies
Difficulty level - Easy/Intermediate

Ingredients to make Double Chocolate Cookies -

• All-purpose Flour - 1 cup
• Unsweetened Dutch process cocoa powder - ½ cup
• Baking soda - ½ tsp
• Salt - ½tsp
• Coarsely chopped good quality Milk chocolate - 4 oz (I used Hershey's Milk chocolate)
• Semi-sweet chocolate chip - ½ cup
• Unsalted butter - ½ cup (1 stick)
• Sugar - 1 ½ cups
• Eggs - 2 large
• Vanilla extract - 1tsp

Procedure

• Preheat Oven to 325 degrees. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda, and set aside.

• Melt 4 Oz of milk chocolate(Chopped) with butter in a small heat-proof vessel set over a pan of simmering water. (Do not attempt to melt chocolate directly, as chocolate burns very easily.) Let it cool to room temperature.

• Mix the Chocolate mixture, eggs, sugar, and vanilla in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until well combined.

• Reduce the speed to low and gradually mix in the flour mixture. Add the chocolate chips at the end and mix gently.

• Using a tablespoon measure, drop the dough on a parchment-lined baking tray, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake until cookies are flat and the surface cracks (Around 13 - 15 mins). These cookies are soft. Baking them longer makes them harder.

• Cool the Double Chocolate Cookies on wire racks and store them layered in parchment in an airtight container at room temperature.

I see these cookies as an intermediate between Brownie and Cookie. My son loved them, and it has made its grand entry into my keeper's list.
