Chocolate Lover's Devil's Food Cake Cookies Recipe
Devil’s Food Cookies are simply bursting with heavenly chocolate! This easy recipe features 4 different types of ooey gooey chocolate chips.
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips divided
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips or chopped milk chocolate bar
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Prepare 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small heat-safe bowl, melt 1 1/2 cups (reserve the remaining 1/2 cup) of the semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring after each cook time. Until the chocolate is smooth. Stir and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl add the butter and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Beat in the sugars. Add the eggs and vanilla, mix until incorporated.
- Add the melted chocolate and beat until combined. Using a small sieve or sifter, sift in the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt) and mix on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in the remaining 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, along with the bittersweet, milk chocolate and white chocolate chip.
- If you would like you can reserve a little of each chip type to garnish the cookies before they bake.
- Using a 1 tablespoon scooper or heaping teaspoonful drop cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes; until the cookies have begun to set. The center may still appear soft, they will firm up as they cool.
- Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
These are rich, deep chocolate cookies, if you would like it to be sweeter you can swap out 1/2 of the melted semi-sweet chocolate for more milk chocolate. Example melt 1 cup of semi-sweet and 1/2 cup of milk chocolate chips. That would change the recipe to call for a total of 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet (divided) and 1 cup of milk chocolate chips (divided).
These cookies are best served fresh (same day) while the chocolate is still melted inside and the cookies are super soft.
