Double Chocolate Fudge Cookies

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Cream Butter and Sugars
   In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla
   Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients
   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Combine
   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
6. Fold in Chocolate Chips
   Stir in the chocolate chips or chunks until evenly distributed.
7. Scoop and Bake
   Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches (5 cm) apart.

Bake for 9–11 minutes. The centers may look slightly soft — this keeps them fudgy.

8. Cool
   Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for Extra Fudginess

• Slightly underbake the cookies for a softer center.
• Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.
• Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before baking for a sweet-salty contrast.
