These double chocolate cookies are a favorite at the Davenport house during the holidays! 

 

INGREDIENTS

    • 1 cup all-purpose flour 
    • 1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons unsweetened natural cocoa powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/8 teaspoon salt
    • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
    • 1 large egg, at room temperature
    • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • 1 cup mini or regular size semi-sweet chocolate chips

    For rolling:

    • 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
    • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar, for rolling

PREPARATION

  1. Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on medium high speed until fluffy and creamed, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. On low speed, slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined, then beat in the chocolate chips. The cookie dough will be thick and sticky. Cover dough tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours and up to 3 days. Chilling is mandatory for this cookie dough!
  3. Remove cookie dough from the refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Scoop and roll balls of dough, about 1.5 Tablespoons of dough each, into balls. Roll each ball very lightly in granulated sugar, then generously in the confectioners’ sugar. Place 3 inches apart on the baking sheets.
  4. Bake the cookies for 11-12 minutes. Cool cookies for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
