Tips to soft double chocolate cookie recipe:

Baking cookies is addictive

Baking cookies can be overwhelming to many but actually it’s fun and there is so much to learn and experiment. A very little change in ingredient, proportion, temperature, shape, cooking time can alter the results. This makes baking cookies so interesting and fun. When I started baking cookies, my every batch would be different and then I would keep experimenting. That’s why I feel making cookies is addictive.

Measure flour carefully

Fill the measuring cup with the help of spoon. Do not dig in flour tub and fill the whole cup in one go. This will over pack the cup and you’ll end up using extra flour that can make your cookies dense. Even 1 extra tablespoon of flour matters when baking cookies.

Freeze dough

If you like soft chewy cookies. Freeze the dough for 30-60 minutes. This will allow the outside of cookie to bake quickly while inside will be still soft. Secondly, cold dough will not spread quickly making cookie thick.

Shape dough into cookie sized balls and freezing it for 24 hour is another great way to intensify all flavors in cookie.

I personally prefer baking only half of my batch and freezing remaining in balls. This way, I don’t end eating too many cookies. And this also gives me oven fresh cookies, without any effort when craving strikes.

Baking Temperature

Cookies are baked at 355 F, one sheet at a time and around 8-16 (depending on size) cookie on each baking tray with cookie batter scooped 2 inches apart.

Baking Time

Timing is really important. Usually, we bake cookies for 8-9 minute until set for soft cookies. For chewy edges leave the cookie on hot baking sheet for extra 5 minute after taking out of oven. This will make them chewy.

Set cookies dough balls on baking sheets two inches apart. Bake on middle rack for 8-10 minutes until set and the top is not glossy. (Rotate tray if needed for even baking.)

Notes

⅛ cup is equal to 2 tablespoon.

To bring cold eggs to room temperature submerge eggs in warm water for few minutes.

You may skip 30 minutes freezing and proceed directly to roll out balls. But your cookie will be less soft. ( That’s ok if you intend to eat right away.)

Fresh cookies taste best so freezing half batch and baking later works best.

If using frozen dough, let the dough thaw a bit, it should be cold but not rock solid before hitting the oven.
