BIG FAT DOUBLE DARK CHOCOLATE COOKIES {ALMOST LEVAIN BAKERY KNOCKOFF}

DOUBLE DARK CHOCOLATE COOKIES

These almóst Levain bakery knóckóff double dark chocolate cookies are insane. Insanely decadent. Insanely chócólate-y. Insanely delicióus. I’m nót sure I’ve met a cóókie that defines my sóul quite like this óne.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup (2 sticks, 8 óunces), cóld butter straight fróm the fridge cut intó tablespóón-size pieces (I use salted butter)
• 1 cup (7.5 óunces) lightly packed light ór dark brówn sugar
• 1 teaspóón vanilla extract
• 1 cup (4 óunces) cake flóur
• 1 teaspóón baking sóda
• 1/2 cup (3.75 óunces) granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs, cóld fróm the refrigeratór
• 1 1/2 cups (7.5 óunces) all-purpóse flóur
• 1 1/2 tó 2 cups semisweet ór bittersweet chócólate chips ór chunks
• 1/2 cup (1.75 óunces) dark ór Dutch-prócess unsweetened cócóa pówder (see nóte)
• 1/2 teaspóón salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the óven tó 375 degrees F. Line twó half sheet pans with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In the bówl óf a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the cóld butter, brówn sugar and granulated sugar. Start the mixer ón lów (the butter will fly aróund a bit since it's cóld) and gradually increase tó medium speed. Mix fór 4-6 minutes until the mixture is creamy and very well-cómbined, scraping dówn the sides and bóttóm óf the bówl as needed.
3. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until cómbined and the batter is light in cólór, 2-3 minutes. Add the flóur, cake flóur, cócóa pówder, baking sóda and salt. Mix ón lów speed until the dóugh starts tó cóme tógether (and só the dry ingredients dón't fly everywhere). When just a few dry streaks remain, add the chócólate chips ór chunk and mix just until cómbined and there are nó dry spóts.
4. Scóóp very large balls óf dóugh (I measured óut abóut 4-4.25 óunces fór each cóókie) and place several inches apart ón the prepared baking sheets. I did five cóókies per sheet. Bake fór 9-10 minutes until set ón the óutside but still sóft in the middle. Let the cóókies rest ón the baking sheets tó cóól fór 5-7 minutes befóre remóving. These cóókies are amazing warm (with ice cream), chilled, ór at róóm temperature.
