Chocolate doesn’t ask silly questions, Chocolate understands!
It’s my daughter’s favorite food, the only food she eats without complaining. Wonder where she got it from! And these Double chocolate chip cookies are her favorite. It is make someone’s cookie day with the Creative Cookie Exchange and I know making these for my daughter is going to make her day.
It all started with a search for that perfect chocolate chip cookie. The rules were simple -more chocolate, less cookie; crunchy outside, gooey inside; and last but not the least it had to be a big fat cookie.
My search landed me on copy cat recipes for Levian Bakery and finally the search had ended. I tried a few of those recipes and settled on this recipe from Christi’s Blog- Love From The Oven.
We substituted part of the sugar with coconut sugar, used Valrhona cocoa powder, dark chocolate chips and we freeze the shaped cookies for about an hour before we bake them. And we don’t usually wait for them to cool down before wolfing down a couple with some cold milk.
Make someone’s day creative cookie exchange was only an excuse to bake these again. I bake them for my daughter as much as I bake them for myself. Afterall, chocolate is cheaper than therapy and You don’t need an appointment .. Catherine Aitken

I want that BIG FAT vicious VA-VA-VOOM cookie right now! That shimmering dark skin, lava-like inside is worth dying for, fighting for 🙂
Awesome job with the cookies, darling. Wish I could turn myself into a baker sometimes! But usually some kitchen disasters take place if I attempt baking. How did you pull off such gorgeous result?!
Yum… I can smell them from Arizona.
Oh my, if anyone handed these to me it would certainly make my day! They look so so so good!!
Wow…the perfect thing for someone with a serious need for a chocolate fix. They look and sound DIVINE!
Your daughter knows where its at! 🙂 you can’t go wrong when there’s chocolate. These look absolutely scrumptious!
Thank you, thank you for not putting a bloody stripey straw in the milk 🙂 SO tired of that whole styling.
Now, these cookies, how come they weren’t baked for me? You did stand me up remember? Haven’t had an apology for that yet….
But these look wonderful, almost as good as my “chai” doughnuts 🙂
Yup, chocolate always makes me happy. So you know these could absolutely delight me. What a terrific cookie! Thanks for this.
You are SO very right… chocolate always understands! These cookies look amazing!
Oh Em Gee! Your daughter is a lucky girl!!
Great looking recipe and I love the double chocolate in your cookies!!
Yes please, I will take a dozen! Double chocolate is obviously better than just one chocolate, right? So good!
Rule number 1 is the best rule! More chocolate, less cookie! I love these, Anshie, and I know both of my daughters would too.
Only problem with these cookies is that I can’t reach in the screen and grab one right now. Oh my how incredible they look.
I want to grab them from my screen and eat them to go with the coffee I am having now. I would love some salt where those melted chocolate chunks meet cookie dough! mmmm!
