Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

My #1 favorite cookie recipe, as it is the definition of decadence. Chewy double-chocolate cookies with gooey, fudgy centers and packed with chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Chill Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 17 minutes
Servings: 22 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 227 grams unsalted butter, softened
  • 150 grams granulated sugar
  • 150 grams dark brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 whole egg, chilled
  • 2 egg yolks, chilled
  • 300 grams bread flour
  • 35 grams Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking espresso
  • 200 grams chocolate chips plus more for garnish
  • 50 grams dark chocolate, chopped
  • finishing salt, for garnish optional

Equipment

  • 1 electric standmixer
  • 1 rubber spatula
  • 1 sheet cling film
  • 2 baking sheets
  • 2 sheets parchment paper
  • 2 wire cooling racks
  • 1 spatula

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, Dutch-processed cocoa powder, baking soda, espresso powder, and salt and whisk to evenly distribute. Set aside.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fixed with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, granulated sugar and dark brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add in the vanilla extract and whole egg, then gently mix until incorporated. Add the egg yolks one at a time, mixing in between until each yolk is fully incorporated.
  4. Slowly sprinkle in the dry ingredients in thirds, pausing in between until no more raw flour is visible. Manually fold in the chocolate chips and chocolate morsels. Cover the bowl with cling film and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  5. Allow the dough to warm on the counter for a few minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350℉. Roll individual cookies into ~50g balls, then line on a prepared cookie sheet, leaving 1-2 inches of room in between to account for spreading. Bake the cookies for 11 minutes.
  6. Give the tray a few gentle smacks on the counter, then place the tray back on the stovetop and garnish with more chocolate chips and finishing salt. When the cookies have cooled enough after ~3 minutes, gently transfer them to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool completely.
