If you love cookies that are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside then these marbled chocolate chip cookies are for you! This recipe below will walk you through how to make a perfect batch of double chocolate chip cookies.
I just love double chocolate chip cookies, and one of our favorites is these marbled ones.
We really love the fun black and white colors we get from every cookie when we use black dutch cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa powder for the chocolate cookie portion.
The black and white swirled together to remind us of a Yin and Yang symbol which is symbolic of how these two flavors complement each other so well.

🔪 Instructions
Check out how to make Marbled Chocolate Chip Cookies with these simple step-by-step instructions:
Cream together the butter and both sugars in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla.
Add in the flour, baking powder, salt, and dry pudding mix. Mix until just combined.
Split the dough in half evenly into two bowls.
Add the cocoa powder to one half and mix to combine. Leave the other dough portion plain.
Add 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips to the chocolate dough and 1 cup of the white chocolate chips to the other dough and mix each to combine.
You can put semi-sweet in the chocolate portion and white chocolate chips in the plain portion, or you can flip it to do white chips in the chocolate dough and chocolate chips in the plain dough.
Divide each dough into a 1 tablespoon-sized portion.
Take one portion from each dough and roll them together to form a ball.
Place in the fridge for 15 minutes while preheating the oven to 375 degrees F.
Grease a baking sheet and place 6-8 cookies on the sheet evenly spaced. The cookies do not spread, but you can use the bottom of a clean glass to press down on the balls slightly to get a rounder disc shape. Don't make them smaller than ¼ inch thick.
Bake in the oven for 12 minutes and cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
🍴 Recipe Tips
Chilling the dough
While these marble chocolate cookies don't need to be chilled before being baked, letting them chill helps the flavors develop a little more. The longer the cookie dough is in the fridge, the more flavorful and wonderful these cookies will be.
While an overnight trip to the fridge makes a great tasting batch, a 15-minute break is just as fine and doesn't take nearly as much patience.
Is the dough too dry?
If at any point during the dough dividing you realize the dough is too dry, add in milk 1 tablespoon at a time and mix again until it's well incorporated. This will give some moisture and make the cookies easier to bind together.
Your dough should be fine enough, as-is, but I have found that the weather and humidity seem to play a roll in the dough consistency, so having a little milk on hand doesn't hurt.
💭 FAQs
You can keep the prepared dough in a covered bowl in the fridge for up to 3 days before baking or keep it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
