Ingredients:
- 3.9 ounces (1/2 cup) of butter, softened and cubed (choose vegan or regular butter)
- 3 ounces (1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon) of light brown sugar
- 3.2 ounces (1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons) of granulated sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons (45ml) of any unsweetened milk
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 0.6 ounces (1/4 cup) of Dutch cocoa powder
- 4.4 ounces (1 cup) of all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons of cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 3.9 ounces (2/3 cup) of dark chocolate chips
Method:
- Start by creaming the butter in a bowl until pale, about 1-2 minutes. Add both the light brown and granulated sugars, mixing on medium speed until creamy, around 3-4 minutes.
- Introduce room-temperature milk and the vanilla extract to the butter mixture, stirring to combine.
- Sift in all dry ingredients (cocoa powder, flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt) and mix to form a soft dough. If the dough appears dry, add a little more milk. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Allow the dough to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Using a scoop or spoon, form dough balls weighing 50g each (or use two tablespoons of dough) and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spacing them at least 3 inches apart.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12 minutes. The cookies will spread, which is expected.
- Immediately after baking, use a round biscuit cutter or cookie cutter slightly larger than the cookies to gently swirl around each cookie in small circular motions. This technique smooths the edges and shapes the cookies into perfect circles.
Enjoy these egg-free double chocolate cookies, a testament to the rich and fudgy delights that chocolate can bring into our lives. Enjoy!
