    If you want to make chocolate chip cookies but you’re not sure which type to make then why not try these chocolate chip swirl cookies. They are half double chocolate with white chocolate chips and half regular chocolate chip with milk chocolate chips which together create the perfect swirl cookies.

    Chocolate chip swirl cookies. Half the cookie is dark chocolate with white chocolate chips and the other side is regular cookie dough with milk chocolate chips.

    These cookies are so easy and fun to bake and though they are simple, my 6-year-old daughter is always super impressed when I bake them and thinks the idea is ‘genius’ her words exactly. If you have any children in your family then this is a super fun recipe to bake with them.

    This recipe is extra because you get two types of cookies in one and who would say no to that. These cookies have the perfect combination of soft and chewy and they taste amazing. If you’re a cookie fan then you really need to give these cookies a try.

    Ingredients for Chunky Chocolate Chip Swirl Cookies

    • Butter – I use unsalted butter so I can control the quantity of salt in the recipe. The butter should be slightly soft.
    • Sugar – I use a combination of light brown sugar and caster sugar.
    • Vanilla extract – ideally, use good quality vanilla extract and not essence.
    • Egg – the recipe requires just 1 medium sized egg.

    Once the above ingredients are combined, I split the mixture equally into two separate bowls then I add the following ingredients.

    Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

    • Salt – regular table salt will do.
    • Bicarbonate soda – also known as baking soda. Helps the cookies to rise.
    • Cocoa powder – use unsweetened cocoa powder and don’t use drinking chocolate powder.
    • Flour – I use plain flour or all-purpose flour.
    • White chocolate chips – you can also use a chopped white chocolate bar. Aim for good quality chocolate.

    Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

    • Salt – again, regular table salt.
    • Bicarbonate soda – or baking soda.
    • Cornflour – also known as corn-starch.
    • Flour – again, plain flour or all-purpose.
    • Milk chocolate chips - again, you can use a bar and chop into small chocolate chip size pieces. You can also use dark chocolate for this dough.

    How to Make Chunky Chocolate Chip Swirl Cookies

    1. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars then mix in the vanilla extract and egg. Once combined, pour half the mixture around 165g into a second mixing bowl. One will be for the double chocolate chip cookies and one will be for the regular chocolate chip cookies.

    2. To one of the mixing bowls, mix in the salt, bicarbonate soda, cocoa powder and flour then add the white chocolate chips. Divide the cookie dough into 6 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball and set aside.

    3. To the second bowl, mix in the salt, bicarbonate soda, cornflour and flour then add the milk chocolate chips. Again, divide the cookie dough into 6 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.

    Unbaked cookie dough balls. There are 2 plates: 1 with double chocolate cookie dough balls and 1 plate with regular cookie dough balls.

    4. Cut all 12 cookie dough balls in half then attach each double chocolate ball to a regular chocolate chip ball. Mould them tightly together.

    5. Place the cookie dough balls in the fridge for 30 minutes. While the dough is in the fridge, preheat the oven to gas mark 4/350oF/180oC then line a baking tray with baking paper or a silicone baking mat.

    6. After 30 minutes, place as many cookies as you can onto the baking tray and slightly press on each cookie. Don't press them flat just slightly. Ensure there is space between each cookie. As this recipe makes 12 cookies, I bake 6 at a time but the choice is yours. Bake in the oven for 13 – 14 minutes then remove. If you want to add some additional chocolate chips to the outside then do this now while they are still warm. Allow the cookies to rest on the baking tray for 10 minutes then transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to completely cool.

    Recipe Tips

    • When you attach the different cookie dough balls together, ensure you mould them together tightly to avoid them detaching while baking.
