Dangerously Delicious Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

By sonia August 13, 2011 Cookies

It’s my first time baking in my brand new kitchen!!

I came home from running errands and smelled the aroma of my roommate’s French Vanilla coffee…so delicious! I was instantly in the mood for baking 🙂

This recipe is said to be a ‘copycat’ of one of the cookies made at NYC’s Levain Bakery. I have yet to go there but I’ve heard great things about it (and after trying this recipe I HAVE to check it out ASAP!)

Warning: These cookies are seriously dangerous! (I already ate 3…)

This recipe was inspired by Love From the Oven.

Recipe: Dangerously Delicious Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Summary: DANGEROUSLY yummy! These double chocolate chunk cookies are rich, chocolaty, delicious, and won’t last 1 day!

Ingredients

1 cup salted butter (2 sticks cut into cubes)
1 1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs (at room temp)
1/2 cup cocoa powder (the darker the better!)
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 tsp coarse sea salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp french vanilla coffee (I used Dunkin’ Donuts)
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chunks (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup crushed dry roasted peanuts (optional)
A glass of milk (NOT OPTIONAL)

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar.
Add the eggs one at a time and beat well.
As you can see, I don't have an electric mixer yet - so I'm doing it the old fashioned way!
Add in cocoa powder and coffee. Combine well.
French Vanilla Dunkin' Donuts coffee - my secret ingredient!!
In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking soda.
Gradually add your dry flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing in between increments – the batter will be really thick!
Stir in chocolate chunks with a spoon. You can use your hands to knead the dough to make sure all of the ingredients are combined.
Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper (I didn’t have any at the moment, but using it makes clean up a lot easier!)
Grab a handful of the chocolaty dough and make a large disk.
Top with crushed dry roasted peanuts if you wish.
Bake these dangerous cookies in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until the tops are baked through.
Let cool.
Enjoy with a tall glass of MILK. You’re gonna need it 🙂
