Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Bake them for 8 minutes for chewy cookies and 10 minutes for crispier ones. Difficulty: Medium 1/2 cup light brown sugar 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened 2 large eggs 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 teaspoon baking soda Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix again until the batter is smooth and creamy. Use a wooden spoon to stir in the chocolate chips. Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to form small balls of dough. Put the balls of dough on two large ungreased baking sheets. You should be able to fit 15 cookies on each sheet. Make sure they’re not too close together. They’ll need about 1 inch on each side to spread out.
