Candidate 1
This candidate claims that it is the "Best double choc chip cookie" featured at All recipes website. Interestingly, the recipe is no longer on the website. It has a cakey texture and is a quite dense. The chocolate flavor is intense though. Certainly a contender if you like your chocolate chip cookies a little soft. I did however over baked a batched by 5-10 minutes and they turned out crisp and nice!
I did halve the sugar content though as I think that 2 cups of sugar is wayyy too much!

3) Put spoonsfulls on baking tray. Bake for 10 minutes to get a soft texture and 15-20 minutes for crisper texture.
Candidate 2
Double Chocolate Cookies taken from Milk and Cookies. It has the crisp that all cookies should have and tasted great with milk (a real test!). Deep intense chocolate flavor. The cookies spread more than Candidate 1, which probably contributed to the crisp sides and chewy with a bite interior.
Dark chocolate cookies
1 cup flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp coarse salt
200grams of choc chip (seperate them into 2, 100 grams)
110gram of butter
1 cup of sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1) Preheat oven to 180C. Line baking trays with baking paper.
2) Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking sodar and salt. Set aside.
3) Melt 100 grams of dark choc with butter in a small heat proof bowl set on top of a pan of simmering water. Cool slightly.
4) Gradually fold in flour mixture in 2 batches.
5) Fold in chocolate bits. (I added some crushed walnuts as well)
6) Spoon tsp of cookie dough on to trays abt 2 inches apart. Bake for 15 minutes. Cookies will be slightly soft.
My favourite???
Candidate 2 for sure. The rich intense flavour won me over. By not beating the butter, the cookies turned out crispier. I'm keeping that recipe!!!!

I don't have a favourite recipe for choc chip cookies, just favourite ppl who bake them for me! Would ja like to join the list? :D
I'm not eligible to pick either candidate because I don't bake :O
But I think I would like my dark chocolate cookies full of chocolate flavor (but just sugar) and aromatic with chocolate! Dark choc for me, certainly :D
hmm i havent made cookies before...but i love soft ones instead of crispy ones hehehe...i love my cookies with milk or hot tea (fav tea: earl grey or indonesian jasmine)
I've been seeing all these choc cookie recipes all over the place recently, or perhaps my subconscious is seeking them out. Hmm...
I was going to do a comparison myself - but what would I do with all those cookies apart from eating them - that would be sooo bad.
My vote goes for the second too, but perhaps you should send me a taste just to be sure.
Thanks for the kind words :)
Ooo... I wud love to try candidate 2 too.
I don't care . . . . I want both! Shall I wallop all! lol!
You should send me both samples so that I can confirm for you which one is nicer, hehee... =)~
I normally buy my cookies.. �1 for 5 large ones ... never occurred to me that its so much cheaper and not difficult to make! May attempt this one day. Looks delicious!
From the look of it, I prefer number 2 too, looks really yummy!
