Craving both cake and cookies, but don’t want to compromise? These Double Chocolate Cake Cookies are the perfect combination to satisfy both cravings.

For years, I wasn’t a huge chocolate fan.  It’s true. I would eat brownies, but chocolate chip cookies or chocolate cake, it wasn’t for me. When Andrew and I got together, he desperately tried to change my mind. See, he lovesssss chocolate.  If he’s in a bad mood, chocolate can usually fix that. I love putting a piece of chocolate in his lunch box when I know he’s having a rough start to the day.  It’s the little things that really matter.

Thankfully, his love of chocolate taught me to appreciate it more. Now, I still don’t have a love obsession with chocolate cake, but cookies, brownies, and other desserts, I’m all in for all the chocolate.

Every Saturday, we make a different cookie for our in-home date night.  It’s something we’ve done for a little over a year now and it’s something we both look forward to at the end of every week. One night, Andrew was in charge of the recipe and he said he was making chocolate cake cookies.  I was so upset.

I didn’t like chocolate cake and I wasn’t going to like these cookies.  BIG MISTAKE.  They were amazingggggg.  One of the best cookies that I’ve ever had.

Not only did I love them, but the girls devoured them and then asked for more.

The baby even tried to help herself after we turned our back.  They are definitely a hit in the house and since the first time, we’ve made them again and again and again.

The kids always try to “help” me lick the batters after the mixture is done while we are waiting for the cookies to finish up and it always get a bit interesting.

Cake cookies made with a combination of regular white and cake flour is the key to successful cake cookies that taste like the dream you have of cake and cookie all in one. Plus the addition of arrowroot powder acts to thicken the cookie to give it that cake feeling.
