The Story & Intro
Hi, I’m Inaya, 38, from Crete, Greece. Growing up, I loved baking with my grandmother. While she taught me traditional Greek sweets, I also developed a sweet tooth for classics like chocolate chip cookies. I remember the first time I dipped warm, golden cookies into melted chocolate it felt like pure magic.
Chocolate-dipped chocolate chip cookies bring together two simple joys: the chewy sweetness of cookies and the rich, glossy coating of chocolate. They’re perfect for family gatherings, coffee with friends, or just treating yourself after a long day.
This recipe is all about keeping it simple, yet irresistible. You’ll love how the chocolate hardens into a delicate shell that cracks with each bite. If you’re looking for a cookie that feels both comforting and elegant, this is it.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups dark or milk chocolate, chopped (for dipping)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (for smooth melting)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This gives your cookies that chewy center.
Step 2: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. This step builds the rich flavor base for your cookies.
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add this mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined. Don’t overmix.
Step 4: Fold in Chocolate Chips
Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed. Your dough is ready for baking!
Step 5: Bake the Cookies
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Drop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto a lined baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes until golden at the edges but soft in the center.
Step 6: Dip in Chocolate
Melt the chopped chocolate with coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Dip each cooled cookie halfway into the chocolate, then place on parchment to set.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these chocolate-dipped chocolate chip cookies with a glass of cold milk or alongside your afternoon coffee. They’re also a wonderful homemade gift wrap them in parchment and tie with rustic string for a charming touch.
These cookies stay fresh for up to 5 days in an airtight container. If you’d like, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate before it sets for a sweet-salty delight.
