Regular cookie cutter gives you typical round, flat cookies. However, many bakeries opt for larger, more satisfying cookies. One way to achieve it is with small measuring cups, which have perfect design to create thick and decadent cookies.

Add a layer of flour at the bottom of measuring cup. Place your cookie dough in measuring cups until it fills ¼ cup’s height. Create tall, wide cookies that don’t look traditional at all (use your hands to work on the shapes). The result is moist, decadent chocolate cookies that feel satisfying when bitten.

Storage Tips

If you cannot make all the chocolate chip cookies, wrap the cool dough with plastic wrapper, and keep it in the freezer. If you want to keep existing cookies, choose a good jar with tight lid and baking parchment at the bottom.

Avoid storing a type of cookies with other different types in one jar, because the long-term effect is unpleasant. Sweet cookies absorb moisture from less sweet cookies and make the overall texture bad. Ideally, you should finish the cookies in three days after making. One more reason to devour all those cookies when binge-watching Netflix serials!

Forget bland cookies with weak chocolate flavor. These double chocolate chip cookies will make you crave for something sweet without thinking about calories.
