Chewy chocolate chocolate chip cookies are double chocolate chip cookies with soft middles and chewy edges. 
I love a good chewy cookie! These chewy chocolate chocolate chip cookies are based on my chewy brown sugar chocolate chip cookies.
They have soft middles and chewy edges, so they're pretty much a perfect double chocolate cookie.
These cookies pack a double chocolate punch! The chocolate cookies aren't overly sweet, and they're full of melty chocolate.
How to make chocolate chocolate chip cookies
These cookies start with melted butter, and have plenty of brown sugar mixed in. The cookies have an extra dose of vanilla to enhance the chocolate. The cookies also have a fair amount of cocoa powder to give the cookies lots of chocolate flavor.
Can I use a different type of chocolate?
Yes! I always suggest using the type of chocolate that you like.
I prefer semisweet chocolate in these cookies. If you want more of a dark chocolate cookie, use bittersweet chocolate. If you want a sweeter cookie, use milk chocolate chips in these cookies.

Notes
**Can substitute 4 ounces finely chopped baking chocolate for chocolate chips. I like to use semisweet in this recipe. If you prefer a less sweet cookie, you can use bittersweet chocolate. If you prefer a sweeter cookies, try milk chocolate.
***I suggest stirring this recipe together by hand rather than using a hand or stand mixer.

One of my pet peeves is flour measurement, as flour companies all state a cup is 120 grams. However, that amount is rarely seen (by me, anyway) & I've seen the weight as high as 155g for a cup, depending on the method of measurement. I do 130g unless convinced by the recipe creator to use a different amount. Sometimes doing so didn't turn out well. You seem to be as fussy as me in this area, so if you do use 120g for a cup of flour, I will too. Heaven help you if you're wrong! lol😄
Kate
I hear you about the flour measurements! I've seen everything from 120g to 145g for a cup of flour from major recipe websites. When I measure by volume (and then weigh), I end up between 115g and 125g, so the 120g measurement for a cup of flour makes sense to me. One of the great things about measuring by weight is that you have that exact amount to go off of, so you don't have to worry about those variations. =)

This cookies are awsome!!!
Kate
Thank you so much!

Can I use hot chocolate powder instead of cocoa powder and if so how much less brown sugar do I put? Unless it'll be extra sweet
Kate
No, I don't think that will work. There's no way to tell what the ratio of sugar to cocoa powder is in the mix, and hot chocolate mix usually uses granulated sugar, not brown sugar.
Sherry
Love how fluffy they turn out without refrigeration!!!
Kate
Thank you!

what to do if we did not leave it for 5 minutes and put the butter what should we do
Kate
You didn't let the butter and sugar stand for 5 minutes? Be careful when adding the egg. The 5 minutes gives the butter and sugar a chance to combine, but it also lets the butter/sugar mixture cool slightly. If you skip that, you'll have to be careful when you add the egg so that you don't end up with pieces of cooked egg from the hot butter/sugar mixture.

Hi!
Very excited to use this recipe for Xmas and wanted to know if I need to make any adjustments to make it’s it style icecream sandwiches with it?
I was thinking of layering the dough on a sheet pan instead of scooping out so that I can easily spread icecream on it and cut it into square bars.
Kate
Hi! I've never made this cookie as a bar. Usually, the only adjustment is the baking time, but I haven't tried it to say for certain.
