Is there anything better than biting into a warm, freshly-baked cookie? We think not! And when it comes to cookies, double chocolate chip is a classic that never gets old. That’s why we’re excited to share the third in our series of four exclusive recipes from Kindred Kitchen: Lianne Scher’s DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES.

In Lianne’s words, “These extra chocolatey cookies fly off the kitchen counter faster than I can make them!” With a perfect balance of rich cocoa and sweet chocolate chips, these cookies are a treat that’s hard to resist.

Ready to Bake? Here’s What You Need

INGREDIENTS

• 125g butter
• 125g soft brown sugar
• 50g white sugar
• 125g cake flour
• 25g cocoa powder
• 1 extra large egg
• 180g chocolate chips
• 3.75ml baking powder
• 5ml vanilla paste
• Pinch salt

FOR TOPPING:

• 100g 70% dark chocolate

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper.
2. Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until they’re light and fluffy. Add in the egg and mix until well combined.
3. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Fold these dry ingredients into the butter mixture.
4. Add the chocolate chips and mix again. Pack down into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
5. Lightly flour your hands and roll the dough into balls, each weighing about 30g. Gently flatten each cookie as you place them onto the lined baking sheet.
6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
7. For the topping, melt the chopped dark chocolate in a bowl over gently simmering water. Once melted, dip a fork into the chocolate and drizzle in a zig-zag motion over each cookie. Allow to set.

Lianne’s Tip: If you prefer white chocolate, you can replace the dark chocolate drizzle topping with white chocolate instead.
