Fudgy Double Chocolate Cookies
- Set a strainer over a medium bowl and sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt into it to break up cocoa lumps. Whisk to combine.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and both sugars on medium speed until fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla.
- Add the cocoa mixture and mix on low speed until no dry pockets remain.
- Stir in the chocolate chips with a spatula.
- Cover and refrigerate the dough so the cookies spread less and bake up thick.
- Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two sheet pans with parchment.
- Scoop 2-tablespoon balls onto the pans, 2 inches apart.
Fudgy Double Chocolate Cookies
- Bake until the tops crack and the edges look set but the centers still look soft. Dark dough hides browning, so trust the timer.
- Sprinkle each hot cookie with a few flakes of salt, if using.
- Leave the cookies on the pans until they are firm enough to move, then transfer them to a rack.
