Cookies are typical American cookies with chocolate chips. In this case, instead of making the classic vanilla cookies, we bring you double chocolate cookies, since they also contain cocoa in the dough.
Cookies are usually divided into two categories: crispy and crunchy, and soft and chewy. This recipe falls into the latter category, thanks to the substitution of half the white sugar for brown sugar, which makes the cookies even softer and juicier.
These cookies are very easy to make; just mix the ingredients in a bowl, form balls with your hands, and bake them. It's also a perfect recipe to make with children, as the dough is so soft it can be mixed by hand.
If you like American desserts, we have tons of recipes that you'll love: super fluffy pancakes , carrot cake , glazed donuts , cupcakes ...
Plus, you can cook them right away or store the dough in the fridge or freezer, depending on your needs. In fact, we always double the dough, shape the balls, and freeze them, ready to bake right away if a chocolate emergency strikes.

How to prepare chocolate cookies
〉It's best to add cold, diced butter, especially if you're not refrigerating the dough before baking. Melted butter prevents the cookies from holding their shape and makes them flat.
〉The ideal is to cool the dough30 minutes before baking so that the hardened butter helps the cookies to be plump and moist, but if you're feeling greedy, you can bake them now.
If you really want the most sublime cookies on the planet, sprinkle a few flakes of salt on top for perfection.
The best thing about this cookie dough is that you can modify it to add any ingredients you like. You can substitute white chocolate for the dark chocolate or use half and half for two-chocolate cookies. You can also add chopped pecans, slivered almonds, or simply sprinkle a pinch of salt when you take them out of the oven.
To get soft cookies, the key is to remove them from the oven before they're fully cooked. Once removed from the oven, the cookies finish cooking in the residual heat from the baking sheet, but they won't harden to the point of forming a crust.
Can you save cookie dough and bake it another day?
Cookie dough is very easy to store, and the cookies turn out much better if the dough has been chilled in advance. In fact, it's always recommended to refrigerate it for 15 minutes before baking. If you have leftover dough, you can store it in the refrigerator if you're planning to bake it within a couple of days. If you plan to bake it later, it's best to store it in the freezer. Our advice is to store the dough in balls so that it's much easier to bake the cookies individually.
