Best Chewy Chocolate Cookies

These chocolate cookies are one of my absolute favorite cookies. I feel like I say that a lot- but what can I say- I LOVE cookies!

I recently shared these in my most favorite form- these M&M Valentines Cookies (because sprinkles, chocolate candies, and the best cookie ever?! YES PLEASE!).

But this cookie is my go-to for any chocolate cookie.

Even though I’ve shared this recipe in one form or another a few times (remember my Hot Cocoa Cookies?  Or German Chocolate Cookies? Used them in both recipes too!) I thought I’d give these beauties their own post.

Let’s make these cookies!

How to make chewy chocolate cookies:

  • Heat your oven and line a baking sheet or two with parchment paper
  • Whip up your butter and then cream with the sugar
  • Add in eggs and espresso powder then the flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda
  • Mix in the chocolate chips
  • Scoop the cookie dough onto prepared baking sheet
  • Bake for 9-10 minutes or until just done.
  • Enjoy!!

How to store cookies:

Once cooled store in an air tight container for up to a week- but I bet you they will be eaten way before that!

Can I freeze the dough?

Yep! Scoop your dough, form into balls, then place in a freezer zip lock baggie and freeze until ready to use- freeze for up to 2 months!

When ready to bake, preheat oven, take your cookie dough from the freezer place on a baking sheet and bake! No need to thaw. The cookies will most likely need a minute or two extra while baking.

Can I use chocolate chunks/ chocolate bar chopped up instead of chocolate chips?

Yes! Using at least one bar of chocolate chopped up in lieu of 1 cup of chocolate chips will give some serious ooey gooey chocolateyness to these cookies. However, regular chocolate chips will still taste delicious!

Help! My cookies are turning out harder than I want!

Simply bake the cookies for 1 minute less. I like to take these out when they are slightly underdone and then let them sit on the baking sheet for a minute. It helps them to be super soft and chewy.

I’ve used this recipe as a base for many of my cookies- including my favorite M&M Sprinkle Cookie!

Notes

Lisa’s Tips

*I like to cube my butter so it’s easier/faster for the mixer to whip up.
* Using a chopped-up chocolate bar in lieu of 1 cup of chocolate chips gives a nice melty chocolate cookie.
*I like to pull the cookies out slightly underdone- closer to 9 minutes- which helps them stay softer and chewier.
