Tips for Baking Success

To ensure your double chocolate chip fudge cookies turn out perfectly every time, it's essential to measure your ingredients accurately. Using a kitchen scale can help achieve precise measurements, particularly for the flour and cocoa powder, which can vary in density. Additionally, be sure to allow your butter to soften at room temperature for optimal creaming with the sugars, as this will contribute to the cookies' tender texture.

Don't rush the cooling process! Allowing the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack helps them set properly. This step prevents breakage and ensures that each cookie retains its delicious fudgy center. Lastly, store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and soft texture.

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs

Chocolate Chips

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Bake the Cookies

Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are set.

Cool and Enjoy

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Storing and Freezing Cookies

Once you have baked your delicious double chocolate chip fudge cookies, storing them correctly is key to keeping them fresh. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. If you want to extend their shelf life, consider freezing them. Simply place the cooled cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to three months.

When you're ready to enjoy a cookie from the freezer, simply remove it and let it thaw at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes. For an extra treat, pop the thawed cookie in the microwave for 10-15 seconds for a warm, gooey experience.

Serving Suggestions

These double chocolate chip fudge cookies are delightful on their own, but you can elevate your serving game with a few simple ideas. Serve them alongside a scoop of your favorite ice cream for a decadent dessert that will impress your guests. Alternatively, drizzle some melted chocolate or caramel over the cookies for a gourmet touch that enhances their rich flavors.

For a festive presentation, stack the cookies on a decorative plate and dust them with powdered sugar or cocoa powder.
