Rich Double chocolate chip cookies are egg free, fudgy, soft chocolate cookies made rich with dark cocoa powder, chocolate chips and a hint of vanilla in them.

Ingredients

• 1 cup all purpose flour or maida
• ½ cup dark cocoa powder
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ⅔ cup sugar
• ½ cup softened unsalted butter
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons vanilla essence/extract
• 4 to 5 tablespoons milk
• ¾ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit or 160 degrees centigrade.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. In a mixing bowl, stir the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder and salt with a whisk or fork.
4. Add the softened butter and vanilla essence.
5. Mix in about 4 tablespoons of milk and mix with hand to make a soft dough. Add more if necessary.
6. Stir in half the chocolate chips and knead to make a soft, smooth dough.
7. At this point, you can refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes or bake right away (I refrigerated for 30 minutes).
8. Make small 1-inch balls of the dough and place them on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart. They will spread while baking.
9. Stud the dough balls with the rest of the chocolate chips and bake for only 10 minutes; baking them longer will make them crispy.
10. Cool on baking sheet for about 5 minutes and then transfer to cooling rack to cool completely.
11. Store in airtight containers.
