There are plenty of double chocolate chip cookie recipes out there, but this one? This one had me at first bite. It’s the best recipe I’ve ever tried—and I’ve tried a lot. These homemade chocolate cookies have the chewy softness of a classic cookie, but with one bite, you’ll think you’re eating a fudgy brownie. It’s like two desserts in one!

Now, I know step 4 might stop you in your tracks. Yep—boiling butter poured over flour. Sounds wild, right? But trust me, this step partially cooks the flour, creating a silky, melt-in-your-mouth texture with a toasty, buttery flavor. It’s one of the secrets to what makes these the best chewy chocolate chocolate chip cookies you’ll ever bake.

I use white sugar here, but if you’re the kind of person who’d wrestle a bear for a gooey cookie, try brown sugar instead. It adds even more chew and depth.

Seriously, make a batch—no, make two. You’ll thank me.

Notes

1. Don’t skip the hot butter trick

Pouring boiling butter over the flour might seem strange, but it’s the key to soft, fudgy cookies. It lightly cooks the flour and gives the cookies a toasty, rich flavor with a tender crumb.

2. Chill the dough

Chilling for just 20 minutes helps the dough firm up and keeps the cookies from spreading too much. It also enhances the chewy texture and intensifies the chocolate flavor.

3. Use good-quality cocoa and chocolate chips

This is a double chocolate cookie, so quality matters! Use a rich, unsweetened cocoa powder and your favorite semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips for deep, decadent flavor.

4. Tear and stack for bakery-style tops

Tearing the dough ball and pressing the jagged edges together creates that crinkly, rustic bakery look on top. Plus, it gives you gooey centers and slightly crisp edges. Win-win!

    1. The chocolate flavor was so soothing and comforting, these cookies vanished in no time 🙂

  1. What a fantastic cookie! It looks really delicious. I’ve never heard of cooking the flour for a cookie dough; I’m really eager to see how it affects the taste.

    1. Hey Jeff, these were delicious and chewy! I know that the concept of cooking flour a little before adding rest of ingredients is new, but it really makes a huge difference even in plain vanilla cookies. Hope you give it a try 🙂

  2. These look absolutely divine! Chocolate chip cookies are my weakness but when they’re double chocolate…look out!
