We love everything about these jumbo, bakery-style Double Chocolate Chip Cookies. They’re thick and chewy, easy to make, and are a fraction of your local bakery cookie cost.
Some of my other favorite cookie recipes include I these Biscoff Cookies, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies, or Chocolate Mint Cookies!

Join me in Double Chocolate Cookie BlissI am your A-typical chocolate lover that will always pick a jumbo, Double Chocolate Chip Cookie over any other baked good on the table. (With the caveat that the cookie is homemade–this is an important distinction! I’m never tempted by a store-bought cookie).
I particularly love that these chocolate cookies are giant, thick and chewy, and I love how affordable they are to make from home. Cookie shops charge over $4 per cookie! Save the money and make a big, delicious batch to share with your friends.
How to make Double Chocolate Chip Cookies:
Make Chocolate Cookie Dough: Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt to medium bowl. In a seperate bowl cream together butter, sugar and brown sugar, then add eggs and vanilla and mix until combined. Gradually add flour mixture to wet ingredients and stir in chocolate chips.
Refrigerate and Scoop: Cover bowl and refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes. Measure out ¼ cup portions of dough and roll into balls. Place cookie dough on a lined baking sheet, 2 inches apart.
Bake at 375 for 12 to 15 minutes or until set around the edges. (Do not over bake.) Allow to cool for several minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make Ahead and Freezing Instructions:
To Make Ahead: The cookie dough can be made up to 3 days ahead of time, stored in the fridge.
To Freeze: Freeze cookie dough for up to 3 months. For baked cookies, allow them to cool completely then store in a freezer safe bag for up to 3 months.

These cookies look amazingly delicious. Can I make them slightly smaller than a 1/4 cup? I’d like to make more from 1 batch. TIA.
Sure! You’ll need to adjust the baking time. Enjoy!
I made these cookies for the first time and they couldn’t have turned out better!! Usually I suck at making cookies as they always turn out flat, but these were so think, soft on the inside, with a nice chewiness on the outside. I’m honestly so thrilled with this recipe!
I’ve never made a better batch of cookies! I will definitely be making these again.
Hello, I made the cookies, however I added about 1/2 cup fresh brewed coffee to the butter and vanilla, then I substituted 1/4 cup apple sauce for the egg. The batter came out a bit loose for cookies. So I put it in a 9 inch round pan and topped it with crushed pecans. Baked at 375 for about 35 min till the knife came out clean. We had fantastic chocolate chip coffee brownies! Thank you for the start I will save this with my notes!
