We LOVE sweet treats in this house and these Chewy Chocolate Cookies are one of my kids’ favorite recipes that my mom makes with them! They are slightly crispy on the outside, but full of fudge-like chewiness on the inside! It’s truly the perfect cookie consistency and NO ONE can eat just one! The best part? The recipe makes a TON of them (4.5 dozen to be exact) and it’s a very simple recipe at that… let’s take a look!
The recipe is below and super simple. Once you mix together your wet ingredients, you’ll fold in the dry ingredients and get to scooping. If the batter is too runny, put it in the fridge for a little while to chill, then scoop out.
Bake for 8-9 minutes at 350º F then let cool for a few minutes out of the oven before transferring to a plate or wire rack.
The cookies themselves will come out with a slight crunch on the outside, but a soft, fudge-like inside that’s to die for! It’s the perfect combination!
We made these at my house this week and everyone wanted more! They are seriously the best chocolate cookies out there! Don’t miss out!!
Everyone will be begging you for this easy cookie recipe…don’t believe me, try them yourself! 🙂
Chewy Chocolate Cookies
The BEST Chocolate Cookies with a crispy outside and soft, fudgey center! Your friends and family will beg you for the recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups all purpose flour, unsifted
- 3/4 cup Hershey's Cocoa Powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar, set aside to roll it in
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350º F. Cream butter and 2 cups of sugar in a large mixing bowl (leave remaining 1/4 cup of sugar to roll dough in). Add eggs and vanilla and blend well.
Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Blend into creamed mixture.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, roll dough into balls, then roll in the 1/4 cup of sugar set aside. Then drop mixture onto uncreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 8-9 minutes. They will puff up slightly during baking and flatten upon cooling. Cool on cookie sheet until set, about one minute, then move to wire rack to cool completely.
Pin it for later…

Thank you!

October 5, 2018 at 6:01 amHow embarrassing! 2 eggs. I’ll get that fixed ASAP. Thanks!

October 9, 2018 at 3:26 pmDo we set aside 1/2 cup of the 2 cups of sugar listed, or do we need a total of 2.5 cups of sugar?

October 9, 2018 at 8:35 pmHi Erica, I’m checking on that to make sure I’m right…thanks for bringing that to my attention. It is confusing, huh?
Abbey says
October 9, 2018 at 8:50 pmOK! It’s 2 cups for the dough and 1/2-1/4 cup to roll it in.

October 10, 2018 at 10:22 pmMade the cookies at my wife’s request. I used a #40 ice cream scoop and baked on a parchment lined pan. Had 34 4 inch cookies when done. Look exactly like your photo and taste great! A little crispy around the edge and chewy on the inside. Ice cream sandwich here I come.

December 16, 2018 at 6:42 pmThese are delicious – new favorite cookie! Easy and so perfect!
Two tips: first cook, the cookies set up quite flat but still tasted great. Second batch, I used the convect setting on my oven and they came out thick and a tiny bit chewier – super good!
Also tried making them in to holiday cookies subbing one tsp vanilla extract for coffee flavor extract & adding some ground up peppermint Hershey kisses for a peppermint mocha flavor… Could use more coffee taste but my family devoured them nonetheless!
