Mary Berry Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mary Berry Double Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft-baked, chocolate-loaded biscuits made with cocoa and chocolate chips, offering a brownie-like texture inside and a lightly crisp outer edge. They are simple to prepare and bake beautifully every time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 150g unsalted butter (softened)

  • 125g caster sugar

  • 125g light brown sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 200g plain flour

  • 30g cocoa powder

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 150g chocolate chips

  • 50g chopped dark chocolate (optional for extra richness)

Instructions

Step 1: Cream the butter and sugars

Beat the butter, caster sugar, and brown sugar until pale, light, and fluffy to ensure a soft cookie texture.

Step 2: Add the wet ingredients

Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 3: Combine the dry ingredients

In a separate bowl, stir together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4: Bring the dough together

Fold the dry mixture into the butter mixture until a soft, chocolatey dough forms.

Step 5: Add chocolate chips

Mix in the chocolate chips and optional chunks, distributing them evenly.

Step 6: Shape the cookies

Scoop small balls of dough onto lined baking trays, leaving room for spreading.

Step 7: Optional chilling

Chill the dough for 10–15 minutes if it feels too soft, which helps maintain cookie shape.

Step 8: Bake the cookies

Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10–12 minutes until the edges are just set.

Step 9: Cool before serving

Let the cookies rest on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
