Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 1 whole large egg
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups dark chocolate chips, melted
- 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two equal portions.
In a small bowl, whisk the cocoa powder and melted dark chocolate with the milk until smooth.
Add the cocoa mixture to one portion of the dough, mixing until the color is evenly distributed.
Roll out both portions of dough (plain and chocolate) separately between sheets of parchment paper into rectangles approximately 12 inches by 8 inches.
Carefully place the chocolate dough rectangle on top of the plain dough rectangle, trimming the edges if necessary to align them.
Starting from one of the shorter sides, tightly roll the dough into a log to create a swirl pattern. Wrap the dough log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Unwrap the dough log and slice it into 1/4-inch-thick rounds using a sharp knife. Place the cookies about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Sprinkle each cookie with the finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set but not browned.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your luscious Double Chocolate Swirls with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage.
