The Very Best Chocolate Cookies

chocolate cookie recipes

These are really the very best Chocolate Cookies! Thick, soft-centered, and crispy-edged. All your basic cookie ingredients here plus dark cocoa powder and ground cardamom to make things extra festive!

Prep: 20min

Total: 30min

Yield: 24

Nutrition Facts: servingSize None, calories 325 calories, Sugar 29 g, Sodium 192.8 mg, Fat 16.4 g, Saturated Fat 10 g, Trans Fat 0 g, Carbohydrate 44.2 g, Fiber 1.5 g, Protein 3.1 g, Cholesterol 56.2 mg

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3 1/2 cups brown sugar, loosely packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 1/4 all-purpose flour (see notes for exact grams)
  • 1 cup dark cocoa powder (see notes for exact grams)
  • 1-2 tablespoons espresso powder (optional, but recommended if you’re using regular cocoa powder to give the flavor more depth)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • extra cane or granulated sugar for rolling
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)

Instruction:

  1. Preheat oven to 350. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar until fluffy and light. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing gently until just combined.
  2. Add flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until combined into a soft dough.
  3. Form into balls (about ¼ cup per cookie / ball). Roll each ball in the extra sugar (mixed with cardamom, if you want). Bake for 10-12 minutes (I recommend 6-8 at a time on the baking sheet, so you’ll need to bake in batches). Remove from oven and let them rest – you want the cookies settle down a bit and give you crisped edges with thicker, soft-baked centers.

What makes cookies crispy or chewy?

Using lower-moisture sugar (granulated) and fat (vegetable shortening), plus a longer, slower bake than normal, produces light, crunchy cookies. That said, using a combination of butter and vegetable shortening (as in the original recipe), or even using all butter, will make an acceptably crunchy chocolate chip cookie.

What chocolate is best for cookies?

If you want to experience the extra softness and chewiness of your favorite chocolate chip cookies, chop up a bar of dark chocolate and mix the chunks in the dough. Dark chocolate, which contains from 50% to 90% cocoa solids, is often referred to as the best chocolate for cookies.
