Soft and chewy triple chocolate fudge cookies recipe (1)

I love anything chocolate. The more the merrier. And not just quantity speaking, but richness also! You know what I’m talking about, those chocolate treats that you need a glass of milk near by.

That’s the case for these chocolate fudge cookies. At first I wanted to name them chocolate brownie cookies, but they are so rich and decadent, way, way better than the brownie cookies I’ve previously made. Those are still good, but these willmake you weak at the knees.

These triple chocolate fudge cookies are fudgy, rich, intense, and decadent. The edges are chewy, the center is gooeyand every bite is oozing with melted chocolate!

These cookies are made completely from scratch, no cake mix, no brownie mix, no pudding mix, no shortcuts. It takes a little patience, but trust me, it’s so worth it!

Just like the chocolate chip cookies I shared with you earlier in the month, these cookies are not your last-minute chocolate treat. They take time! A couple of hours. But remember, the more you chill the dough, the more flavorful the cookies will turn out!

Actually, this cookie dough needs to be chilled twice.

The first time is right after you mix in all the ingredients! The dough is not exactly scoop able.Pop your mixing bowl into the freezer for a half hour or until the dough is chilled enough to scoop out balls.

Once the cookie dough is scooped,chill the cookiesfor at least 2hours in the fridge. Don’t skip either of the chilling steps!

I love my OXO ice-cream scoop. Makes portioning the cookie dough such an easy task! Definitely worth the investment!

A word of warning – don’t refrigerate the whole bowl for hours! The cookie dough will harden too much and you won’t be able to scoop it out! If that happens to you, leave the bowl on the counter for a little bit, until soft enough to handle, and refrigerate the scooped cookie dough for a couple of hours before baking.

To make these off the chart chocolate fudge cookies, you start by melting8 ounces of chocolate withbutter in a microwave or in a double boiler. Melting the chocolate with the butter will prevent the chocolate from seizing. If you choose to use the microwave, take the bowl out every 30 seconds and give it a gentle stir. Doing so, there are less chances you’ll burn the chocolate.

While the chocolate is melting, in a mixing bowl, beat together 2 eggs, sugar, and vanilla until pale and creamy, for about 5 minutes at medium speed. The mixture thickens up and become slightly frothy.

This recipe calls for just brown sugar,which enhances the moist, fudgy texture.

Stir the melted chocolate into the egg mixture and gently fold in a little bit of flour.

With a spatula fold in some chopped nuts and 4 more ounces of chocolate.They are like unexpected nuggets of bliss. This time I used a mix of chocolate chips and chunks, but you can use whatever you have on hand.

Once the cookies are baked dot them with a few extra chocolate chips on top. You know, for looks. There is always room for more chocolate, right?

If you’re still craving chocolate after trying these soft and chewy triple chocolate fudge cookies, I’m sure you’ll find something else at this year’s chocolate party to satisfy your desires!

What is the trick to keep baked goods like cookies soft? ›

If you bake too many cookies (as if there is such a thing!) and are concerned about them going stale, just add a slice of white bread to the storage container to keep them from hardening.

How do you make cookies chewy instead of crunchy? ›

Egg yolks add moisture to the dough, while egg whites can make cookies drier and crunchier. Add a bit of cornstarch to the dough. Cornstarch helps to absorb moisture and keep cookies soft and tender. Make sure you're using the right type of flour.

How do you make cookies soft and chewy vs hard and crisp? ›

Different types of sugars affect the texture because they absorb different amounts of water. Remember moisture is the key! White sugar creates crispier cookies and brown sugar creates chewier cookies.

What flour is best for chewy cookies? ›

Some people like thin and crispy, while others go for super soft and half-baked (me!). If you're looking for chewiness and bend, bread flour could be a handy addition to your cookie recipes.

Should I use baking soda or baking powder in cookies? ›

Baking soda is typically used for chewy cookies, while baking powder is generally used for light and airy cookies. Since baking powder is comprised of a number of ingredients (baking soda, cream of tartar, cornstarch, etc.), using it instead of pure baking soda will affect the taste of your cookies.

What does Brown Sugar do for a cookie? ›

Brown sugar, meanwhile, is dense and compacts easily, creating fewer air pockets during creaming—that means that there's less opportunity to entrap gas, creating cookies that rise less and spread more. With less moisture escaping via steam, they also stay moist and chewy.

What is the best sugar for cookies? ›

Granulated sugar: Derived from either sugarcane or sugar beets, this is the most commonly used sugar in baking, and for good reason. It's neutral in flavor and has medium-sized, uniform crystals that are small enough to dissolve into batters and large enough to create air pockets when creamed with butter.

What happens if you forget to add brown sugar to cookies? ›

What happens when you bake without brown sugar? To be succinct, the resulting baked good could be slightly drier or more crisp. Without the excess moisture from the molasses in the brown sugar, the final cookie won't be as chewy and the final bread might be drier.

Why do bakery cookies taste different? ›

One reason may be that bakeries use emulsions. Emulsions are flavorings designed for high heat applications. So they retain their flavoring much more than extracts do in baking. Emulsions are made without alcohol and also incorporate better with the other recipe ingredients.

What determines the moistness of a cookie? ›

Butter contributes milk solids and water to a cookie, both of which soften it. Brown sugar contributes molasses – again, a softener. Using lower-moisture sugar (granulated) and fat (vegetable shortening), plus a longer, slower bake than normal, produces light, crunchy cookies.

How do you make cookie dough softer? ›

There are a few things you can do to add liquid to your cookie dough if it is too dry and crumbly. One option is to add milk, water, or another liquid until the dough is the right consistency. You can also try adding melted butter or shortening. If your dough is still too dry, you may need to add more flour.

What does adding cornstarch to cookies do? ›

As Levy Beranbaum writes in The Baking Bible, replacing a little bit of the flour in the dough with cornstarch results in “a more delicate cookie that is also easier to pipe or push through a cookie press.” Adding cornstarch helps tenderize tough gluten, contributing to a softer cookie dough with a finer crumb after ...
