Why You’ll Love These Chocolate Dip Chocolate Chip Cookies

Here’s what makes this recipe special:

Chewy texture with soft centers thanks to a secret ingredient

Double chocolate hit from chocolate chips and a silky chocolate dip

Simple ingredients you probably already have at home

And the best part? These cookies use Karo® Corn Syrup—a pantry staple that’s been trusted for generations. It’s the secret to getting that perfect chewy bite every time.

The Secret to Perfectly Chewy Cookies

If you’ve ever made chocolate chip cookies that turned out too crisp or crumbly, this tip is for you: Add a bit of Karo® Corn Syrup to your dough.

This is the ingredient that makes all the difference. Karo® Corn Syrup helps lock in moisture and creates that chewy, bakery-style texture we all love. I grew up watching my grandma bake pies with it, and now I use it in everything from cookies to holiday treats. It’s one of those ingredients that just feels like home.

Ingredients for Chocolate Dipped Chocolate Chip Cookies

Cookie Dough:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup Karo® Corn Syrup
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Chocolate Dip:

6 oz chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
3 tbsp unsalted butter
3 tsp Karo® Corn Syrup

How to Make Chocolate Dip Chocolate Chip Cookies

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter, sugar, and Karo® Corn Syrup until smooth and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla and mix until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

Step 2: Scoop and Bake

Roll dough into 1.5-tablespoon balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart. You should get about 12 cookies.

Bake for 9–11 minutes, just until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look soft—that’s what you want. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet for at least 30 minutes.

Pro Tip: Letting them cool fully helps them hold together during the dipping process!

Step 3: Make the Chocolate Dip

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, butter, and Karo® Corn Syrup. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each round, until fully melted and smooth.

Step 4: Dip and Set

Dip half of each cookie into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Place cookies back on the baking sheet or a parchment-lined tray. Set in the freezer for 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.

Make It Your Own

You can totally personalize this recipe based on what you love:

Add flaky sea salt on top of the dipped chocolate for a sweet-salty combo

Roll the dipped end in sprinkles or crushed nuts for a festive look

Use holiday-themed sprinkles for Christmas, Valentine's Day, or birthdays

How to Store These Cookies

Store your chocolate dip chocolate chip cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. You can also freeze them in a single layer and thaw as needed—perfect for prepping ahead for parties or holiday baking.
