Chocolate Fudge Cookies Recipe

These chocolate fudge cookies are soft, chewy, and loaded with chunks of dark or milk chocolate for an indulgent treat. They’re perfect for satisfying any chocolate lover’s cravings!

YIELD: 16 Cookies

  • Prep Time: 50 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

  • 115 grams (1 stick or 1/2 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 90 grams (1/2 cup) brown sugar
  • 50 grams (1/4 cup) caster sugar or granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 140 grams (1 cup) plain or all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 40 grams (1/2 cup) cocoa powder
  • Pinch of salt (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon full-fat or whole milk
  • 100 grams (2/3 cup) dark or milk chocolate, roughly chopped, plus extra for decorating

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare Baking Trays

  • Line two baking trays with baking paper or parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix Butter and Sugars

  • In a large mixing bowl, add butter and both sugars (brown and caster/granulated).
  • Beat using an electric mixer until well combined and creamy.

Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients

  • Add vanilla extract and egg to the mixture.
  • Beat for about 1 minute until fully combined and smooth.

Step 4: Incorporate Dry Ingredients

  • Sift in the flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt (if using).
  • Mix briefly until a chocolate dough forms.

Step 5: Adjust Consistency and Add Chocolate

  • If the dough feels a little dry, add the milk and stir in the chocolate chunks.
  • Place the dough in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes.

Step 6: Preheat Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) if using a standard oven or 160°C (320°F) for fan-forced ovens.

Step 7: Shape and Bake Cookies

  • Roll approximately 1.5 tablespoons of dough into balls using your hands.
  • Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared trays, spaced slightly apart.

Step 8: Bake

  • Bake the cookies for approximately 10-11 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.

Step 9: Decorate and Cool

  • While the cookies are still warm, press a few extra pieces of chopped chocolate on top for decoration.
  • Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Chilling the dough helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
  • Use good quality chocolate for the best results—dark chocolate offers a richer flavor.
  • Add a pinch of sea salt on top for an extra flavor boost.

Enjoy your rich, chocolate-loaded cookies! Perfect with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of coffee.
