Double Chocolate Cookies

So perfect and wonderful for this rainy day! I am excited to bake these after I get a bit of work done. 🙂 I could make them right now without the chocolate chips (finished off my bag yesterday :)) but I think they would be so much better after a trip to the store. Thank you!

YUM! My mind is wandering to a peppermint-y version of the above…y’know, for the holidays! 😉

oh goodness gracious, those look amazing! And my favorite cookie for the holidays is a sugar cookie with frosting!

Genius! Now I can eat these instead of eating a cookie AND a brownie when I can’t choose between the two 🙂

Definitely making these today!! Do you think I could use coconut sugar instead of xlyitol/regular sugar? I’m guessing it would be fine.

You really expect me to pick a favorite kind of cookie?
That’s like picking a favorite child.
Vegan cream puffs sound AMAZING, by the way

I want these right now. Especially because it’s national cookie day!

I love that you don’t write so much. All these other food blogs just yap and yap, paragraph after paragraph. You’re funny and get straight to the recipe. These other food bloggers would gain me as a fan but they just bore me with their incessant talking!
Anyway, These look awesome! Bookmarked for this Christmas.

When I was younger (and not yet vegan) my mom and I would do holiday baking sprees, making all these fancy cookies like peanut butter cookies with mini Reeses cups in them, peppermint swirl cookies with Hershey’s kisses on top, walnut-thumbprint cookies with raspberry jam filling, and these really good sweet cherry bars! Personally, for the holidays, I love anything involving peppermint and chocolate… Last year I made these peppermint sugar cookies with a chocolate-peppermint frosting, and they are a definite repeat for this year!!

I am not a big cookie person…would rather a spoonful of PB and some Medjool dates!

I just made these and they are DELISH! Except I only got about half in actual cookies cause I ate so much dough! 🙂

Mmm. you have inspired me. I was bad and thought of a way to add more chocolate to your chocolate brownie cookies… and decided to try it on your no bake peanut butter cookie recipe as well. I made a batch of your chocolate truffle in the microwave and while it was warm, dipped the frozen peanut butter cookie in it… as well as your brownie cookie. It made a nice glaze over them both. Chocolate and peanut butter together is always a winner. I love your recipes… chocolate never tasted so good. Thanks!!

I don’t have a favorite Christmas Cookie, I think I love them all!! Your cookies looks simply wonderful!

These look great. I agree, it is cruel to be forced to choose between a brownie and a cookie.

Speaking 100% honestly, the only two sweets I would never be able to give up are brownies and cookies – so this is a bit of a dream recipe. Also, I just tried your chocolate pumpkin pie brownies and they are phenomenal – I have never managed to taste ones so close to the box kind but without sugar! I used the agave sub because I like mine dense and chewy and that’s exactly how they came out!

Followed the recipe to a T. I have an electric scale so everything was spot on. First of all, they were pretty good. Definitely a cookie that tasted like a brownie. The dough was drier than I expected it to be. By squeezing them into balls they managed to hold together. They rose beautifully in the oven. Didn’t have to freeze or refrigerate them to get soft cookies. They weren’t dense but just soft. Ever so slightly crumbly but won’t fall apart on you. I might make these again.

Seriously. So. Good. Go bake these ASAP :]

I just made these earlier today. I used half white flour and half regular whole wheat flour (I didn’t have whole wheat pastry flour on hand) and coconut oil and they turned out great. I didn’t take the time to let the dough sit in the fridge, though, because I was worried about the coconut oil making them hard and crumbly. So I baked them without cooling them, and they turned out nice and soft anyway. I brought them to share with a bunch of people at a meeting, all of whom are non-vegan, and they were a hit. A+ for this recipe.

Well, that tears it. I have to give you your own board on my Pinterest. Love your recipes!

Oh, yes, and I would LOVE to try the pecan tart recipe you mentioned. It’s got to have the texture of pecan pie, and I don’t know how you’ll be able to achieve that, or even if it’s possible. Hope you get to it SOON. I’ve been hankering for pecan pie for awhile now, and I’m gonna break down and make one soon!

And did I mention, LOVE your recipes!

I love this idea! Have you ever made/thought about making “healthier” peanut brittle? I love the stuff, but don’t like that it is usually made with corn syrup/sugar/butter… Any suggestions?

These look incredible! There is only one thing that tops a cookie…and that’s a double chocolate one! yum!

Yum! I agree that nobody should have to choose. I’m a huge fan of brownies, not as much the chocolate cookie. These look so fluffy and adorable. Good for a cookie plate at a party.

Pls remake the pecan tart cookie-that’s definitely one of my favs. I also love almond cookies, any type with a good almond flavor, especially with a crispness that then melts in your mouth! I am gluten free now though and i haven’t yet sought out a gluten free almond paste.
Thanks

These look deliciously chocolaty. I think my favourite holiday cookie is gingerbread because I only make it at Christmas.

Just made a batch–the cookies are delicious! I was very sad that I was only able to make 6 cookies (not the 14-17 in the recipe, though I made the full batch!). My cookies were 2″ in diameter. Next time, I’ll have to double (or triple) the recipe!

I made these tonight and the dough was great! I wish I had left some in the freezer. I did need to add quite a bit more soy milk to the recipe though, I used regular whole wheat flour (not pastry) and I had zero problems taking them off of the baking sheet right away because of the recipe changes 😛

I’m not a big cookie eater but I loved the white choc and cranberry I had at NZ!

i made these the other night, they have a great flavour, but mine turned out a bit dry- i’m guessing it’s because i left them in for an extra minute or 2.. hey, a girl gets distracted every once in awhile 😛 . but as i type I am eating the most delicious breakfast – cooked rolled oats, flaxseed, soy milk, peanut butter, cinnamon, AND a few almonds and 2 crumbled cookies on top! OH MY GOD, SOOO GOOOD! and giving me tons of energy and healthy fats ;P THANKYOU!

Made these again replacing all sugars with PUREED DATES. They’re delicious and far more dense and less crumbly. More brownie like for sure. I used 3/4 cup of pitted dates and pureed them with a little bit of water just until a thick consistency. All I did was then add the pureed dates with the liquids until my desired sweetness was achieved. Simple. So for anyone interested in replacing all sugars with something more natural and healthy for you…try it out.

Holly Chocolate!!!! I just put these in the fridge, but before I ate the uncooked left of et batter and these are SOOOOOOOO delicious! I can’t wait to taste them cooked!!!
Thanks Katie, you’ve done it yet again!!
I heart these cookies <3

These are awesome! I made mine with half wholewheat half unbleached, a little less sugar and a little less oil, they turned out awesome. Thanks for another great recipe!

Hi Katie!
Today I made this batch times 10. I mixed it all with one of those zig-zaggy potato mashers in a giant stock pot because I didn’t have a big enough mixing bowl. My mom and I managed to make over 70 big cookies despite my brother (and myself I must admit) eating a ton of the dough. I thought of you as I created this tenfold monstrosity of your recipe, knowing that you would be simultaneously pleased and amused by my ambition. Thank you for you continued commitment to chocolatey excellence.

My against-healthy-desserts sister took one taste of the dough of these cookies and told me to double the recipe.

Super brilliant! Thank you!

Try not baking the batter: add orange or mint extract, or peanut butter, then pour into a square container and stick in fridge until hardened. Take out, cut into cubes, and enjoy as healthy fudge!! 😀

Great recipe! I love my cookies 🙂 Unfortunately I’m celiac so I have to bake everything gluten-free.

I have to get all my snacks from a Bakery in town that does gluten-free snacks. They have amazing chocolate chip cookies though! I suggest anyone near Toronto check them out! Terra Cotta Cookies.

Happy Baking!

I started making these a few days ago, and they are SO SO SO good!!! My family requests me to make a batch almost every night now!!! Everyone who tries them says they taste like CiCi’s brownies (a pizza buffet chain in the northeast that has these AMAZING tasting brownies). My class who hates eating healthy (think sophomore boys), even request me to make them!

These are delicious!

Great recipe! I was wary at first when they came out of the oven because they were so soft, but just like you said they had to cool and harden first. So easy and delicious!

I put these cookies in place of the homemade Oreos in your healthy cookies and cream milkshake… so I guess that would be a brownie milkshake! Ha ha! Either way, it was so delicious that my family was licking the cup! I just love this website!

OH MY GOD THESE ARE AMAZING! They taste like these sinfully delicious cookies my mom makes BUT I DON’T FEEL GUILTY WITH THESE!!!!!! Seriously the best things EVER!

I doubled the recipe and ended up with 15 cookies. I must’ve made them considerably larger; they took approximately 17 minutes and are still a little doughy in the middle.
Either way, they turned out delicious (SUPER rich!). I used this recipe as an alternative to the holiday’s chocolate crinkle cookies and they turned out the exact same (I also rolled them in powdered sugar). Very happy with the results.
I always have to play around with the temperature/time with your recipes. Not completely sure why. I blame electric.
And if anyone’s wondering, I used spelt flour, coconut sugar, and vegetable oil. I’m hoping to try these again closer to the holidays using applesauce, xylitol, and maybe oat flour.

Made these cookies today for Santa with my 6 yr old daughter and honestly, I don’t know if Santa is going to get any! We didn’t add the nuts but they are still deliciously yummy! Thanks for posting such amazing healthy recipes which kids (& adults alike) love! Merry Xmas!!!!!

Hi Katie, i made the brownie cookies today, they were so simple to make and so yummy ! They taste really “bad” and not healthy at all, what a win! Defiantly a keeper! Hope you have a great new year, and keep up with the great work.

these are wonderful!!! I used Kahmut flour and 2/3 coconut oil, 1/3 soy cream….thanks!

GUYS you are probably not as silly as me BUT: If you want to do almond extract instead of vanilla, make sure to do the “few drops” Katie says and NOT the exact substitution (1tsp) I completely wrongly assumed (whoops!) – because it tastes REALLY GROSS if you do this! But, the texture is really spot on, and if I hadn’t screwed that u these cookies would be amazing. And btw you can make them in muffin tin shapes with cupcake papers if you want! One recipe yields half a dozen.

Hi Katie! I made these cookies tonight for the first time and while I’ve used some of your recipes before as inspirations for my own creations, this is the first time I’ve followed one of your recipes word-for-word…. well, I did omit the chocolate chips (which you totally gave the option to do!) and I subbed in salted peanuts instead. Oh geez, while I’m writing this I’m also realizing that I used maple syrup instead of sugar…!! Oh well… My point is that they LOOK just amazing! Puffy and beautiful JUST LIKE your photos! I have about 4 minutes left in the cooling process before I can taste one….. sooooooooooooo excited!

Thank you, Katie! Your site is the best! I use it all the time!

These look AMAZING! *she said in a singsongy voice*
I’ve started to eat pretty healthy and go running, but I LOVE chocolate. I’m good about not having too much, but sometimes you just gotta have some. Which is also why I LOVE your website. 🙂
I do have a question though, I read your substitutions and such, but:
Can I make these with oat flour? Or will they be too dense or dry?

Thanks -Natalie

I just made these and they are DELICIOUS! It made me realized that you don’t need all of the butter and eggs to make great cookies. I’m a serious chocolate lover and they are fantastic. But they are a little crumbly so I might add more liquid next time. But great taste!

the first time I made this, I followed the recipe exactly. it turned out a little but oily. the second time around. I put 2 1\2 Tbsp of Oil and 2 tbsp of milk. it turned out G R E A T.

and I also put 1\8 brown sugar. 1\8 white sugar.

I don’t know if this increases the calories in the cookies or not. But the 5 tbsp of oil were too much for me.

maybe it was the flour that made them oily, but either way. less oil worked out for me!

these look really yummy! healthy is always better!:) especially if it doesn’t taste healthy

These taste great, and I followed the recipe pretty closely. I used my tiny scoop and made 20 cookies. The only pitfall is that the resulting cookie is delicious, but very crumbly — not a problem as these are one-biters. Super chocolately, but not overly sweet.

Made these. They were Devine!! Love homade chocolate chip cookies and brownies and these tasted like both. Soft and moist. No need to push down the dough balls after placing in freezer for 15 min. They came down the shape of cookies automatically once they baked. 10 minutes for mine was a little too soft so I cooked mine for 13 minutes was perfect. Will be makeing again thanks for the great recipies katie!!

Is is just me or does anyone else have problems loading this website? I love all the recipes and the site itself but my computer has a mini crash every time I try to open a recipe. And my husband is a computer expert and I know for a fact that my computer is in perfect condition. I don’t know if anyone else has experienced this, but if so it would be a nice thing to consider fixing.

Oh my god. I mean…oh my god. These cookies are SO delicious. Some of the most intensely chocolatey chocolate cookies I have ever had in my entire life. I made a batch and mixed them into some of your Healthy Haagen Dazs ice cream (chocolate, of course) and it is one of the most delicious ice cream desserts I think I’ve ever had. Thank goodness I have some leftover cookies, though! Love it!
