Double Chocolate White Chip Cookies are really good! They’re thin, tender, and chewy. The dough is basically a good transport system for the chips, so use a top shelf brand of both chocolate and white chips (or just stick with white chips).
These cookies are pretty thin and they tend to spread. If you want a slightly thicker cookie with a more rounded shape, scoop the dough onto a piece of foil, chill the scooped dough, then roll the chilled dough balls into perfect spheres before baking. For best results use a good brand of natural (as opposed to Dutch process) cocoa powder.
Recipe

Double Chocolate White Chip Cookies
I like using a mixture of both white and dark chips.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature (280 grams)
- 2 cups granulated sugar (390 grams)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (270 grams)
- 3/4 cup natural style unsweetened cocoa powder**
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt change to 1/4 teaspoon if using salted butter
- 2 cups white chips or use a mixture of white and dark chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or regular foil.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with sugar at medium speed until creamy.
- Add eggs, beating at low speed until combined. Add vanilla.
- Thoroughly mix or sift the flour, unsweetened cocoa, baking soda and salt together in a separate bowl.
- Add flour mixture to creamed mixture and stir until combined. Stir in chips.
- Drop tablespoon size mounds of dough onto baking sheets, spacing 2 1/2 inches apart.
- Bake one sheet at a time on center rack for 12 minutes or until cookies appear set. Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
For best results, use “natural” style cocoa as opposed to Dutch process. The acidity in the cocoa powder works with the neutral baking soda.

“transport system” – heh. From counter to mouth or mouth to my ass? Looks good either way. 😉

Yeah, I need to blame it on something. At least I haven’t lost my enthusiasm towards wine. In fact, it’s increased 10-fold! Now what kind of road am I going down??? 😉

I’d blame it on the time of year! The cookies look great.
