Chocolate chip cookies are a classic favorite but Double Chocolate Chip Cookies are a chocolate lovers dream.
I can’t tell you where this recipe for these Double Chocolate Chip Cookies came from. It’s not a family secret recipe, that has been passed down through generations or anything like that. They recipe is just something I wrote on a scrap piece of paper. What I can tell you is they make some of the best double chocolate chip cookies I have made.
The recipe is not my usual cookie recipe. It is not even something I would typically think to do when making cookies, it uses melted butter. I know there are recipes out there for chocolate chip cookies using melted butter. It is just something I had never tried and was unsure of doing. Then this recipe also has brewed coffee in it. Now that is something that I would almost never do. Until recently I was not a coffee fan and would avoid it. I was testing recipes for my 12 days of Homemade Christmas so thought, why not?
I am so happy I tried the recipe. It produces a delicious brownie-like cookie and that coffee you don’t taste it but it enhances the chocolate flavor. It creates the perfect chocolatey bite that your family and friends will love that is perfect for gift giving. I can’t wait to share it with all of my chocolate loving friends this holiday season!
