Chewy Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Made With Fresh Milled Flour
Wow, These Chewy Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Made With Fresh Milled Flour are so delectable! So, these are easily in the top 5 of my cookie favorites! They have a nostalgic chew to them for me, as one of the few cookies I couldn’t resist. And, they seem to just get better each time!
Not A Fan Of White Chocolate Chips?
So, for those of you who don’t like white chocolate chips, I hear you! And, I too am not a white chocolate fan, however, they do add a nice balance to these fudgy chocolatey cookies! In addition, I like to make them with a mix of white chips and dark chocolate chips, or even M&M’s to make them festive for any holiday. Then, you can choose which ever mix of chips/nuts you prefer! So, this makes a perfectly customizable cookie recipe choice!
What Is The Actual Flavor Of White Chocolate?
Well, that actually depends on the white chocolate that you purchase! Believe it or not, it does depend on the quality of white chocolate. Also, many white chocolates out there are artificially flavored, and just pretty much taste like sugar & preservatives. A better quality white chocolate will actually have a velvety, creamy, butter-ish flavor. So, both qualities seem to have a vanilla back tone.
So, Is White Chocolate Actually Chocolate?
Ok, there is a long standing debate if white chocolate is actually chocolate or not. There are some that will argue both sides! But, Technically speaking, it is not Chocolate, because it does not contain the cocoa solids. However, white chocolate fans, don’t beat me up! Because, the other side of the argument is that white chocolate does contain the cocoa butter, from the cocoa bean. So, really, there are good points to both side. To Sum up, You can decide! If you enjoy white chocolate, you do you, and keep on enjoying it! If not, just leave it for those who love it!
Other Great Mix In Ideas!
Here are some other great mix in ideas! You can choose any of these options, or a mix of the options below. Also, feel free to experiment with your own flavors too! Let your imagination go wild, let go, and just be a kid again!
- milk chocolate chips

- semi-sweet chocolate chips
- peanut butter chocolate chips
- Andes mint pieces
- M&M’s
- Reese Pieces
- Sprinkles
- Cashews, Walnuts, Macadamia, or any other nuts!
So, we decided to use these Valentine M&M candies in our Double Chocolate Cookies for Valentine’s day!
Did Subway Discontinue The Double Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Have you ever been to Subway in the past, and tasted one of their nostalgic Double Chocolate White Chip Cookies? If so, you have to be wondering why they were ever discontinued! Even if you don’t love their subs, you have to admit those delicious, chewy, chocolate-y, perfectly balanced cookies were too good to pass up! Subway made the sad decision to discontinue these perfect cookies back in 2021. So, you know me, I had to come up with the perfect Double Chocolate Chip Cookie to satisfy these cravings! And, what is even better, is these are made with fresh milled flour, so they include all the healthy parts of the wheat! Also, this means even a cookie can be packed with healthy nutrients. However, I’m not saying these aren’t sugary & buttery too. 😜
Ingredients For This Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
- 2&2/3 cup Fresh Milled Flour 320g (I milled 320g soft white wheat berries to get this)
- 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup softened butter (2 sticks)
- 2/3 cup sugar (130g)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar (150g)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract ( I love to make mine, HERE is my video if you are interested in how to make it yourself.)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups white chocolate chips 340g (or any mix of chips & or nuts you want)
Instructions To Make These Chewy Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Firstly, mill your flour
- Preheat Oven to 350*F
- Then, add cocoa powder, baking soda, & salt to the flour. Then, mix to combine.
- In a separate bowl, beat softened (but not melted) butter & sugars until they are smooth & creamy.
- Then, add vanilla & beat again.
- Add eggs to butter mixture & beat until combined.
- Now, add flour mixture into the wet ingredients, and mix until combined.

Can I Freeze Cookie Dough?
Yes! Most cookie dough freeze beautifully! Just flash freeze dough balls in the refrigerator on a lined baking tray for 1 to 2 hours. Then, place them in a freezer safe container. They will store in the freezer for up to 6 months. Then, to bake them, bake from frozen at 350*F for 10-12 minutes.
Easy Valentine’s Day Cookie Decorating Idea
Firstly, if you have watched any of my videos, you know that my decorating techniques are always going to be on the easy side! So, let’s just say my decorating skills are on the “rustic” side, lol. My daughter has much better art skills than I do, but I do know how to get the flavors and textures right at least! So, for Valentine’s Day I wanted to make a simple Valentine Theme cookie that still had that Valentine feel. So, I came up with the idea of adding in Valentine M&M candies as a mix-in. And, I realized this could work for any holiday! Lightbulb moment!
Attempting to make a heart with my hands over a plate of some yummy Easy Valentine’s Day Cookie Decorating Ideas!

Thank you! They are delicious! Let me know how you like them!
We made a batch today and they were AMAZING!! Thank you for all the great recipes!!
Yay! Thanks! You are welcome! I love to share them!
These taste like Oreos! I subbed about a cup total of cane sugar for the sugars. And, I only had one stick of butter, so I added 1/4 cup of applesauce. They were great! I will definitely make them again.
Thank you! Sounds like great substitutions!
can’t stop eating these, I followed other comment with 1 stick butter and apple sauce I used a little under 1/2 cup applesauce. for sugar I used 1/2 cup brown monk fruit
and 1/2 cup honey granuals (from Bread Beckers)
used 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 cup walnuts. delish came out like a chewy brownie
I love how versatile this recipe is, I know its different substitutions but was awesome
thank you
Grace
Thank you so much! I am so happy to hear that! Great substitution recommendations for anyone else interested! Thanks for sharing!
these froze so nice and cooked straight from freezer serve 1 with vanilla ice cream and gooey chocolate chip oozing yum yum
question my daughter won’t eat eggs do you think flax egg might work?
thanks
Grace
Yum! Ice cream makes a great addition to these cookies! Yes, I think the flax seed egg should work as a substitute, let us all know how they turn out if you try it! Happy Baking!
These are my family’s new favorite cookie – thanks for a great recipe!!!
Yay! They are super yummy! My son asks for them often!
The best cookie recipe yet! I have enjoyed all of your recipes and look forward to many more that you share with us. I thought the dark chocolate kiss spelt cookies would’ve been my favorite, but these hit the ball out of the park!! Please don’t stop what your doing! Fresh milled grains are not talked about enough, people are intimidated by the process as I was, but now know its a learning experiment every time I bake! LOL
~Blessings to the new year full of wonderful, healthier recipes
Yay! My son and I LOVE these cookies too! My daughter would choose the Peanut butter kiss cookies. I am so happy you loved them! I agree there is not enough info about fresh milled flour and how to troubleshoot and improve bakes. That is what inspired me to figure it all out and share what I learn along the way! Yes! That is a wonderful way to look at it, as each bake is a learning experiment with a surprise goodie at the end! Thank you for your support and encouragement! Happy Baking!
These cookies are so yummy! I wouldn’t think they were FMF if I didn’t know that they were. I’m always thankful for your reliably delicious recipes and I appreciate that they have gram measurements!!
Awesome! I am so happy to hear they were a hit! These are one of my son’s favorite cookies! Thanks! 🙂
Finally!!! I just started milling my own berries and newbie such as I am….tried to bake with all my original stirebought flour recipes. But they don’t work! And then I stumbled upon your page and these cookies are amazing!! Thank you so much!
Yay! I am so happy to hear that! Thank you so much!
I didn’t change a thing and this was my first fresh milled flour recipe ever! They are delicious 🤤 most cookie recipes using store bought flour needs to sit in the fridge for awhile, but being able to pop these right in and they taste that good?! Thank you for this recipe! I look forward to making many more of your recipes!
Yay! I am so happy to hear that! These are one of my son’s favorite cookies! Thanks so much! Happy Baking!
I just made these and they are soooo good. I love your sight and channel, many of us want more from our FMF than Bread products and your sweet treats are the best.
Yay! I am so happy to help! Thank you so much!
How finely do you grind your flour?
I mill my flour fine for just about everything besides something like cream of wheat. Here is a short video I made showing how to get fine flour with my mill. https://youtube.com/shorts/GNOt93woIS8?si=OfzkrfrDTJrB6hj0
These are probably my favorite freshly milled cookie so far! They do kind of taste like an Oreo cookie, like someone else said. Thank you for another amazing recipe! I’m so thankful for your recipes and helpful tips!
Yay! I am so happy to hear that! These are my son’s favorite cookie! 😊
Looking at all the lovely reviews and wondering if I could use coconut oil or avocado oil since my son is dairy free. Has anyone tried it?
I think coconut oil would work in place of the butter. Let us know how it goes! 😊
Mine did not flatten. This is the first time making them with did and using a Bosch mixer. Will try again!!
You can try decreasing the flour by just a bit to get them to flatten more. Let me know how it goes! 🙂
It’s rare a recipe comes out as pictured, let alone taste as you’d expect. These actually exceeded my expectations. A delicious, crowd-pleaser that is going into my permanent recipe collection! Thank you for sharing!
Yay! I am so happy to hear these were a hit! Thank you! 🙂
