Who can ever refuse a warm cookie? This recipe is a variation of my favourite gooey chocolate chip cookies for my chocolate lover followers. These double chocolate cookies are made with 70% dark chocolate chips and finished with coarse sea salt. This combination will turn into your favourite if you haven’t tried it yet! The salt really enhances the flavours from the dark chocolate.
Sometimes the simplest recipes give you the most satisfaction and this one is definitely an example of that.
The thing you have to be most careful of is to cook the cookies the exact time they require to remain gooey and moist on the inside. In my oven it’s 12min exactly, but you can try 1 cookie in yours for 10min and see if that’s enough once it has cooled down completely. They will be super soft when you take them out of the oven and you won’t be able to lift them.
If you like peanut butter you could also stuff these with peanut butter like I did on this recipe for a more decadent result (if that’s even possible!).
