I tinkered around with this cookie recipe around Christmas time 2020 when I was on bedrest, pregnant with my third baby. It was such a hit it became my husbands favorite Christmas cookie of all time, and definitely is one of my favorites as well. The way I make it is to become a chocolate cookie with white chocolate chips. I think they come out the best that way. You could add walnuts as well if you are a nut lover.

This recipe is pretty simple and yields about 3 dozen cookies. You can see us making them in action here.

Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Ingredients

1 cup + 2T butter, softened  (you basically want it room temperature – not cold, not melting – this is important)

3/4 cup white sugar 

3/4 cup brown sugar 

2 eggs 

2 teaspoons vanilla extract 

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 

⅔ cup cocoa powder 

1 teaspoon baking soda 

¼ teaspoon salt 

2 cups white chocolate chips 

Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Directions

Preheat oven to 350 

In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the first 5 ingredients until light and fluffy.

Combine the rest of the ingredients except for the white chocolate chips in a medium bowl. Once combined, gradually add the mix into the butter/sugar mixture until well blended.

Mix in the white chocolate chips.

Use a cookie scoop (I use this 1.5 Tbsp one) to drop cookie dough onto ungreased cookie sheets. 

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or just until set (they will finish cooking as they cool on the cookie sheet). Once cooled for a little, transfer to a wire rack to completely cool.

That’s it! I hope you enjoy these as much as my family does.
