Double Chocolate Fudge Cookies
Exactly two weeks ago I posted a link to my Coconut Oil Chocolate Chunk Cookie Bars on Instagram. One of my sweet readers (Hi, Lauren!) commented on the post requesting a recipe for double chocolate cookies because her little boys love them, and well, I just couldn’t say no! It’s pretty easy to convince me to get in the kitchen and bake a batch of cookies any day… and when you ask nicely, I get on it! So Lauren, these double chocolate fudge cookies are for you… and every other chocolate lover out there.
These cookies are like pure chocolate fudge!!! I based the dough off my aunt taties famous “death by chocolate cookies“, and after a few twists and tweaks, scored big! I ended up scaling down the butter to just two tablespoons! And scaling the chocolate quantity up to two full cups PLUS cocoa powder! Like I said in the beginning, these cookies truly are for chocolate lovers only 😉
How to make Chocolate Fudge Cookies
- Preheat your oven and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients!
- Melt chocolate chips and the butter in the microwave. And in a separate bowl whisk the vanilla sugars and eggs. Beat in milk and vanilla. Then add melted chocolate in and combine.
- Add the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Then toss in the remaining chocolate chips!
- Scoop 1/4 cupfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, and bake one tray at a time.
- Press a few extra chocolate chips on top of the warm cookies, if desired. Cool on the cookie sheet… then devour!!!
The Cookie Dough will look more like Brownie Batter
But don’t fret! This is totally normal. Use a large cookie scoop and scoop the batter directly onto the prepared baking sheet!
- These cookies must – I repeat – MUST cool completely on the tray. I usually leave the room for a good hour before I even think about sneaking them off the tray.
- Because these cookies are so chocolate heavy, I added a good pinch of salt and vanilla the the dough. Please don’t skip these two ingredients – they make it work.
- Any chocolate chip brand will do.
Final words of advice… make sure you have a milk chaser ready to pair with a plate of these cookies, and go get baking now 😉 xoxo

Soft Batch Double Chocolate Fudge Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
- 2 and 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into tiny cubes
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons whole milk, at room temperature
- 2 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
- Extra chocolate chips, for decorating
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees (F). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper, lightly spray them with non-stick spray, and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- In a large, microwave safe bowl, combine one cup of the chocolate chips and the butter. Heat them in the microwave, on low power, in 15 second increments, mixing in between each, until butter and chocolate are completely melted and can easily be whisked smooth.
- In a large bowl whisk together both sugars and the eggs, beating until well combined. Beat in milk and vanilla. Then fold in the melted chocolate, stirring until evenly combined.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not over mix here!
- Fold in the remaining chocolate chips, stirring until everything is just combined.
- Scoop 1/4 cupfuls of the batter directly onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving room for spreading.
- Bake, one tray at a time, for 15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are dark and shiny.
- Press a few extra chocolate chunks on top of the warm cookies and sprinkle with sea salt.
- Allow cookies to completely cool on the baking sheet for one hour before serving!
Oh WOW. These look like heaven for a chocolate lover like myself!
Totally 😉
Thinking about making these right now (at 10 p.m.) so I can devour them for breakfast tomorrow morning (with a cold glass of milk)!
And for that, I love you!!!
Question what is the yield on this recipe??
I usually get about 10 large cookies 🙂
Double chocolate..omg! Yum.. I just promised my son couple days ago that I will make him chocolate cookies and here I come and I have great recipe. Thanks!
I think I just drooled on myself. Pinned! 🙂

Been SWOONING over these since you posted them on Instagram the other day! They look as big as my head! Haha
This is my kind of cookie! Chocolate cookies definitely need a gooey center!
Agggghhhh….these cookies look so thick and chocolaty and delicious!!!
Hi! You had me at “double chocolate fudge”.
Okay, I have SO much to say today! First…you’ve had a blog redo!! I’m ashamed to ask when since it’s been awhile since I’ve visited – but wow, I love it!! Looks fantastic. Really shows off your food photography!
Second, these cookies look amazing. I love the how big and moist and chocolatey they look. I’m seriously drooling!!
And finally…I’d never be able to wait to pull at least ONE off the tray. But even if it fell apart on me I’m pretty sure I’d be realllllly happy 🙂
Nice to see you again, Ash. Keep up all your fantastic work!
Made these today and they turned out great!
Going to swap peanut butter chips for the milk chocolate chips just for fun. Not sure it’s possible to go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate. I’d love to say I’ll leave them to cool for an hour, but I can’t promise I’ll have the will power.
can you keep this refrigerated for 1 day
These are best the day they are made, but will keep in an airtight container for 2 days.
Can they be warmed in microwave?
Sure! I would say just a few seconds should warm them up nicely 🙂
Why just 2- days?
