I was inspired to make today’s double chocolate chip swirl cookies because I love my peanut butter version. I wanted a swirled cookie that was all chocolate—this recipe is just like my peanut butter chocolate swirl cookies, but we use classic chocolate chip cookie recipes instead of a peanut butter dough.

How to Make Swirl Cookies
These swirl cookies might look a little complicated to make, but they couldn’t be easier. We’re simply making two cookie doughs, rolling them together, and baking. Let’s quickly review the steps so you understand the process before you begin:
Chilling Cookie Dough is Imperative
Chilling the cookie dough is a must for this recipe. Why? It helps prevent spreading. For these double chocolate chip swirl cookies, I recommend chilling the cookie dough for at least 3-4 hours. Chilling cookie dough helps prevent excess spreading. The colder the dough, the less the cookies will over-spread into greasy puddles. Chilling cookie dough not only ensures less spreading, but heightened flavor as well. All of the flavors in your cookie recipe will mingle with one another during the chill time. It’s glorious!

You could even use these baked and cooled cookies for cookie ice cream sandwiches using your favorite ice cream flavor.
