Death by Chocolate Cookies
Who could resist these quadruple chocolate gems???! Four different chocolates are what make these rich chocolate cookies into Death by Chocolate Cookies. When my sweet friend, Danielle posted these on her facebook page, I zipped right over to her blog for the details. My mixing bowl was out within seconds! Danielle and I both love to bake so for the past few months, we have been sharing recipes from each other’s blogs. This was a no-brainer; my February post was set.
A Rich Chocolate Cookie Recipe
The hubby thought these were magnificent…after 25+ years, I know the way to his heart, and there is a LOT of it in this recipe. He wasn’t thrilled, though, when he saw me packing them up for the freezer. This was part of the 75 servings of chocolate dessert that I planned to bring to a big bash at the Decorators’ Show House, the volunteer gig that’s been taking up my free time of late.
I promised him there would be leftovers and that I’d confiscate them the second the party was finished. That seemed to pacify him. Until I brought home an empty platter. These Death by Chocolate Cookies were a major hit!
You can find Danielle on her blog, Hugs & Cookies XOXO, Facebook, or Twitter. If you need a decadent treat, you will find it on her blog!!!

Death by Chocolate Cookies
Rich cocoa cookies with 3 types of chocolate chips
Ingredients
- 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 5 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Melt the 8 ounces of chocolate chips in the microwave until smooth.
- With an electric mixer, beat the butter until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Beat in the sugars.
- Mix in the eggs and vanilla until incorporated. Add the chocolate and beat until combined. Sift in the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt) and mix on low speed until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Chill dough for at least 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350º.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cookies have just begun to set with the centers still appearing very soft. They will firm up as they cool.
- Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

It’s 37 degrees outside and I’m imagining how great it would be to have a few of these with some hot cocoa.
These cookies are scrumptious! My chocoholic husband loved them. Thanks for another great recipe, Liz!
Do you deliver?! These cookies are exactly what my Friday needs! 🙂
Love these words – a quadruple dose of chocolate, rich, chewy. Yum!
Bookmarked these cookies. thanks for sharing 🙂
My mom was the biggest chocoholic ever! And I definitely inherited that from her. And proud of it. 😉 She had many chocolate recipes that began with “Death by . . .” and this one would’ve been added quickly to her collection. I’ll make them in her honor. 🙂 Love! ~Valentina

I gave the kids at The Gant a big salad for Labor Day. I’m thinking I will have to redeem myself by showing up with these cookies soon.
These look dreamy good! I hope you baked another batch for your hubby. 🙂
My kids can’t stop eating these!! They were so delish!
OMG! Love it…all kind of chocolates in these cookies…really a killer…
Thanks for the recipe Liz…have a wonderful week!
Four chocolates! That would be a very happy death, amazing cookies.
perfect recipe to make for myself & hide from my family haha! chocolate is the way to my heart
Absolutely irresistible! I love that you have used 3 different kinds of chocolate chips here…heavenly!
But what a way to go!!! The cookies sound great, I’ve finally started baking again now that the temps have cooled down:@)
Oh my god. I love this recipe! I’ve always wanted to find that perfect recipe for these types of cookies – but most of them seem to ask for ingredients I wouldn’t normally have in my pantry. I love this! 🙂 I’m going to pick up a little bit of extra chocolate tomorrow and make them this weekend for sure! 😀
I couldn’t resist to these beauties:) Love all your chocolate recipes ..
The cookies really look gorgeous!
Heavenly!! Love those chocolate chips looking all melty in the cookie. Perfect!
I made these cookies yesterday. They are rich and delicious. Super easy and fast. I made a few minor adjustments. I didn’t even let the dough chill and they were fabulous! Thank you for the recipe and thanks to Danielle too! XOXO
Decadent is right – I’m drooling over here, Liz! I’d gladly suffer death by chocolate – seriously, if I couldn’t eat the stuff, there’s really no point in living. These cookies look amazing – so rich, moist and chocolatey!
Oh goodness! I spent yesterday making batches of cookies for Valentine’s Day, I wish I’d seen these before starting. These sound deadly and just the type of cookie I love. Without question I will be whipping these up soon. Heavenly chocolate cookies!
If you’ve gotta go out, death by chocolate is the way to go! LOVE the look of these cookies.
And I am so ready to die for these cookies and land in HEAVEN!
That melted chocolate…. YUM!
Love the chocolate on chocolate action here, Liz =)
These are such perfect cookies… if death is the penalty… then I’m a goner. 🙂
WOW that oozing chocolate looks amazing!
No wonder your hubby wasn’t happy when he saw you heading to the freezer with them!
I will have to try these 🙂
That chocolate ooze is out of the world. And mine wouldn’t survive in the freezer. I have this very tall mouse (6’4″) that comes out around midnight and has figured out how to open the freezer door. 😉
Chocolate is definitely a must for Valentine’s Day cooking… I bet these sexy cookies can be “deadly” as they can be…
Lizzy, I can’t remember that I’m Twitter follower or not and so I went to your Twitter page to follow. At Twitter site, I saw that you website is still your ex-blogspot address. You might want to update the details just in case some of your new Twitter follower wants and can’t to check out your webpage. Then, I realized that I’m your Twitter follower already. Cheers!

—OooOOOoo, these are SINS.
I’ve missed you.
I am not getting the emails. DAMN. X
Yes. I love anything overloaded with chocolate. Well done Liz.
Oh my! I need these cookies! ASAP!
Oh my Gosh, five types of chocolate in these cookies, yum. They must be really good if your husband says so! I am dying to make these!
Liz, not only do I adore that name, “Death by Chocoalte Cookies” sounds fantastic, but I also love the fact that you added four different kinds of chocolates to the cookie dough. I have been experimenting with a cookie recipe that has three kinds of chocoalte as part of the ingredients, but I will now stop trying to get that recipe right and try this recipe instead. It looks incredibly tempting!
What a great name for a cookie! And I’ve subscribed to your blog xx
These are the best cookies ever. Love. That’s what it is. Love for CHOCOLATE!
Death by chocolate is right! These sound amazing!
OMG, theses cookies look so yummy. I love anything with chocolate and these cookies look just fantastic.
…and now I want to go make these immediately! I think I even have everything in the kitchen… 😉
These chocolatey chocolate cookies are making me very happy;-) Love a good chocolate cookie recipe!
Now could these look any better? I could devour at least five…especially if I had a tall glass of milk by my side. Thank you for sharing this sweet post. I hope you are having a wonderful week of good food, love, and laughter.
Ghirardelli is my favorite brand of chips. They’re hard to resist eating right out of the bag. These cookies are amazing and even my hubby who doesn’t like too many sweets would love these!!!

I love when the chocolate melts and stays as a delightful puddle inside and doesn’t get absorbed.

These Death by Chocolate Cookie are amazing! I absolutely love the flavor of the chocolate – love that it’s in both the filling and coating on these. Gorgeous photos!

Gorgeous, luscious looking cookies. The melted chocolate chips make me almost feel dizzy.
That´s a lot of chocolate! I think you should make another batch for poor Bill…
