🍪 Tips for the Perfect Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Softened butter. Not melted. Softened butter will give you the perfect amount of fluff and slight crisp on the edges. Melted butter will give you crispy and chewier cookies - which are also delicious, but I'm just team soft center, crispy edges!
Beating butter and sugar. I love using pure cane sugar in this. My favorite one I use is Zulka Morena 100% Pure Cane Sugar. I think it bakes so well and gives it the perfect texture. If you overbeat the butter and sugar or over-mix the final dough, you'll get puffy, tougher cookies.
Cook them as instructed, they will look underbaked slightly. This goes for all of the best cookies because as they cool, they'll form their shape and give you the perfect chewy cookie.
To Chill or Not to Chill? Chilling makes cookies soft in the center and chewy in the middle. When you melt your butter, chilling is recommended. However, I found that with softened butter and yogurt straight from the fridge, it cooks well, and I don't require chilling in my recipe. I have done both, but if you like to prep your cookie dough ahead of time, you are welcome to chill the dough and cook later; they still turn out amazing! I just recommend adding an extra minute or so to make sure they cook perfectly. If you notice your first batch in the oven is flat, then go ahead and refrigerate your cookie dough for 15-20 minutes.
📋 What Other Egg Substitutes Can I Use?
I used greek yogurt in this recipe. My family has used yogurt as an egg substitute for years now and it works so well with cakes and cookies! If you are looking for a vegan cookie option, you can try using coconut oil or vegan butter and vegan soy yogurt or coconut yogurt. Another eggless option is to include apple sauce in place of the yogurt. I have NOT tried these options out yet, but if you do, I would love to know!
💭 What kind of Cocoa Powder do I need?
I believe for this particular recipe, good quality cocoa powder makes a difference. I have used Ghiradelli and Hershey in the past. However, if this is not an option for you, although the texture may slightly vary, any store-brand cocoa powder will likely still give you a fudgy, delicious cookie result.

These cookies are amazing! I panicked when the dough texture was a bit softer than I was used, but I should have just trusted the amazing recipe. Half of the cookies were gone before I could even get them out of the oven.
