These Are Fantastic!
My son says these are the best cookies he has ever had! I have to agree!
Chahinez
Awh!! I love that! I’m so happy you and your son loved these!
Emma
These turned out absolutely delicious! I doubled the recipe and used 3/4 cup of dark cocoa powder and 1/4 cup of regular cocoa powder and it was the perfect mix of sweet and bitter 🙂
Chahinez
Thank you for sharing your substitutes Emma!
Anna

Julia
Made these and I put the dough in the fridge and it got too hard but turned out great after I let the dough sit out!
Chahinez
That’s awesome! 🙂
Avani Kamdar
Awesome recipe! I made the cookies eggless by using a flax egg instead of an egg and it worked like a charm. I drizzled the top with some melted white choc once baked instead of topping the cookies with additional choc chips. A huge hit in our household
Chahinez
Thank you so much for sharing! That flax egg trick is the best!
Chahinez
Sandeep
Hello, does the egg has to be room temperature?
Chahinez
Yes!
Chahinez
Kristin
This recipe was great! I made it with gluten free all-purpose flour and knew going into it I would need an extra egg and a few extra tablespoons of butter and a few tablespoons of milk. They were perfect!
Chahinez
What GF flour did you use? Thank you so much for trying these and letting us know your thoughts 🙂
Chahinez
Heather
Approximately how big is the scoop you use to make the 8 cookies? 1/2 cup, 1/4 cup? And you said to bake for 10 mins for that size? Thanks in advance for the info!
Chahinez
My scoop holds about 1/4 cup worth of cookie dough and yes 🙂 Hope this helped!
Chahinez
Emily Reynolds

These cookies are seriously a perfect dupe for Crumbl dark dream cookies! I was shocked at how they taste exactly the same, and the amazing thing is they were SO EASY to make (made them with my toddler on my hip). Thank you for such an easy and delicious recipe! I guess I won’t need to buy Crumbl cookies anymore 😂
Chahinez
Thank you so much for giving these a try!! I am so happy to hear you loved these friend 🙂 This is the best compliment ever!

Vanshika Tibarewalla
Hey, my cookies came out super dense and didnt spread. Any idea what went wrong and how to fix it?
Chahinez
This chocolate cookie recipe is more on the dense side that’s why you want to flatten them a little before baking to allow them to spread a bit. Hope this helps
Chahinez
Jamie
If I were to make these a regular size, not a big size, would the time in the oven be different? Also, would you think that I would get double the amount of cookies for the recipe? Thank you!!
Chahinez
I have a detailed explanation for making these a bit smaller :). So yes you can double the recipe when making them smaller. Bake the cookies for 8-9 minutes.
chahinez
Tanya
Made these to enjoy after a 5K…they disappeared fast and I wasn’t able to take a photo first. Guess we have to make them again soon!

We just discovered Crumbl maybe a month ago and the habit is getting pricey lol. That being said, I’ve made 4 of your recipes so far and omg. Absolutely delicious!! Thank you for posting these!
Chahinez
I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed my recipes! They definitely become quite pricey so glad to hear you’re able to make these at home and save some money!
Chahinez
Christine
For the butter, does it need to be soft/room temp? Or can I use butter straight from the fridge?
Chahinez
It needs to be softened!
Chahinez
Jamie
These cookies are unreal good. I was shocked at how good these simple steps and ingredients turned out. Beware you will want to come back for more! I love how rich they are 🥰
Chahinez
Unreal is the best way to describe these! You will definitely have to comeback for more!
Chahinez
Sheila
The comments before the recipe instructed to bake 12 minutes. The recipe indicates 10 minutes. Which is it?
Chahinez
You will need to bake these cookies for 10 minutes. So sorry for the misunderstanding, Sheila!
Chahinez
Diana Owens
These cookies were delicious. I love them with peanut butter chips. For a thicker cookie sometimes I add a little oatmeal which is how most of my family like the. Best.
Chahinez
So happy to hear you enjoyed these! Also the oatmeal idea sounds genius!
Chahinez
Evie
These look amazing! I only have regular cocoa available and not Dutch.. would it be okay to make the cookies that way?
Chahinez
Absolutely!
