The only thing better than chocolate cookies is Double Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Published June 2, 2014, Updated April 4, 2024
The cupboards are bare so thought I would track down a new cookie recipe for the kids lunch boxes tomorrow and came across this one in the old recipe books so gave it a whirl and they are seriously good.
The house smells of scrummy chocolately chocolateness and there possibly isn’t anything better than that! My son gives them a 10/10 and my husband said he could not possibly critique until he had eaten a few more…….so I take that as a very good sign.
This is another recipe which is incredibly simple using every day pantry staples. Easy to double this recipe if you are wanting more, but it makes 20 good sized cookies on its own. I do cream the butter and sugar, the easiest way to do that is in a food mixer or with electric beaters, but once that step is done it is so easy!
You will need

Chocolate Chips or Drops
For many baking cookies is something they can do with their eyes closed, for others they need to try a few recipes first to find the one for them. The reason I love this particular recipe is it is just so easy, and has some great simple techniques.
Remember when ALL biscuits were flattened first with a fork – but the ones from cafes always look so smooth and lovely! Guess what, put the fork away, you can create delicious cooking cookies and no fork lines.
This cookie dough does not have to be chilled before you roll it out, so you simply prepare the dough, roll into balls, flatten with a lightly damp hand and pop on some extra chocolate chips or drops before baking.
These are a lovely thick cookie, soft and crumbly texture when eaten. Such a quick and easy recipe, I would love to hear what you think.

Onto the Recipe for Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Delicious and easy, these Double Chocolate Chip Cookies will be a crowd favourite
Ingredients
- 125g Butter, softened
- 1/3 Cup Caster Sugar, 70 grams
- 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar, packed, 100 grams
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Essence, I use imitation
- 1 1/2 Cups Self Raising Flour, 225 grams
- 1/2 Cup Cocoa Powder, 42 grams,
- 3/4 Cup Chocolate Chips or Drops, 130 grams
Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 160C Bake
- Prepare a baking tray with baking paper, I lightly spray my tray with cooking oil before laying the paper, set aside
- In a food mixer cream the butter, brown sugar and caster sugar until creamy and smooth, for approx 3-4 minutes
- Add the egg and vanilla and mix well.
- Next add the self raising flour and cocoa and gently blend well
- Fold in chocolate chips or drops to finish
- Roll tablespoon sized balls of mixture and add to tray - leaving an inch either side of dough.
- Gently press each ball with a damp hand - you can add chocolate drops to the top for added fanciness if you desire!
- Bake for 13 minutes, the cookies will appear soft when you take them from the oven but they will firm up on standing.
- Allow cookies to cool on the tray for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days
- You can freeze the dough or baked cookies in an airtight container also.
- Enjoy

Oh that’s wonderful to hear! Thank you. Can’t wait to hear what you try next xox
Sam says
They are good with just the 1/3 cup of raw sugar and the wholemeal flour; not too sweet. I used Whitakers 72% Dark Ghana for the chocolate. Turned out nice.
Sam says
I just used wholemeal flour and used just 1/3 cup raw sugar only, will bake a when closer to dinner time.

Hi Anna,
These look delicious! If I don’t have self-raising flour, how much baking powder would you recommend I add to a cup of plain flour?
justamumnz says
The ratio is one cup of plain white flour to 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt 🙂
Kate Maxwell says
Can this be made without a food processor?
justamumnz says
You can, you need to cream and butter and sugar but you can do this by hand the old fashioned way ☺️
Andrea Beattie says
