Chewy chocolate cookies. You know the type. You find them in every coffee shop you go to. They are full of sugar, full of calories, and really not very healthy. However, they are really good! That chewy, sugary dough with chocolate, peanuts, candies etc. etc. etc. are just so moreish. Food temptation at its best…

Before going over the steps for creating chewy chocolate cookies, it’s a good idea to know some facts regarding this popular dessert or snack. What would cause chocolate cookies to become chewy? Sugars are responsible for making chocolate cookies chewy because they’re fats that liquefy when heated in the oven. Both white and brown sugars are important in making cookies. White sugar makes cookies crispier. Adding brown sugar to your chocolate cookie recipe will result in a chewier cookie. It is because brown sugar contains more moisture than white sugar.

Chewy Chocolate Cookies

So how about making these yourself. Keeping them in a jar so you can treat yourself anytime. But how’s your self-control? Just make sure you don’t eat them all in one go!!

Let’s give it a go…



1. Gather all of the ingredients together

Making the basic chewy cookie dough only really needs flour, eggs, butter, baking powder and sugar. But then there’s the fillings. I’ve added a little vanilla essence and ended up splitting the dough in two and making chocolate cookies with half and adding peanut M&Ms in the other. You can also add chewy types of candy if you prefer to do so. The fillings can be flexible but the cookie dough is standard.

Gather all of the ingredients

The recipe measurements are detailed in the printable recipe below and makes around 16 cookies. Just scale up or down depending on what you require.



2. Prepare the dry ingredients

To prepare the dry ingredients simply sieve the flour and baking powder into a bowl and then add the salt. Then just set aside.

Sieve the flour and baking powder

Now, take the M&Ms, if using them, and bash them lightly just to break them a little.

Bash the M&Ms. You can use pill-shaped milk chocolates in various colors covered in a crisp coating. It’s okay to use slightly larger chocolates with vibrant pastel colors, such as sky blue, lavender, and hot pink. Make your cookies more creative and interesting using the available ingredients you have at home. By doing so, you might just be surprised by the amazing results.



3. Prepare the wet ingredients

Although not all wet ingredients in the true sense, the next step is to make the cookie paste. To do this, take a second mixing bowl and place in the two sugars, the eggs, the vanilla essence and the melted butter.

Mix all of the ingredients together to form the cookie paste.

Mix all together



4. Finish the dough and prepare the cookies

Now, finish the cookie day off by folding in the dry flour mix.

Add the flour and fold in

Once folded in, split the dough in half for the two different ingredients and fold these into each half respectively.

Add the M&Ms



With the cookie dough now ready, line 2 baking trays with greaseproof paper and spoon individual cookie dollops onto the trays. Don’t worry about the shape, the cookies will flow out in the oven, just try and keep each cookie a similar size. Also, make sure you leave a reasonable gap between each cookie.

5. Bake the cookies and enjoy

With the cookies ready for baking, place them in a pre-heated oven at 180C / 160C Fan and bake for around 20 minutes or until the outside of the cookies starts to brown.

Once baked, remove from the baking tray and place on cooling wires to cool.
