These Copycat Great American Cookies Domino Cookies are a double chocolate cookie with white chocolate chips. They’re so easy to make and absolutely delicious. These cookies have crisp edges and soft chewy middles just like the real deal!
Domino cookies are such a delicious cookie treat. They’re a thinner cookie (although not flat) with an almost a brownie taste to them. You’ll get the same crisp edges and chewy middles like the ones at Great American Cookies.
I’ve had this recipe in my recipe binder for over 15 years now! This makes me feel so old to admit but it’s been a go-to recipe for many years. These are a great homemade version of what I call “mall cookies” since Great American Cookies used to be a lot of mall food courts.

🥣 Ingredients needed
To make these cookies, you will need:
- Butter
- Sugar and brown sugar
- Vanilla extract
- Salt
- Cocoa powder: You’ll want to use unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Water
- Baking soda
- All purpose flour
- White chocolate chips
⏲️ Recipe instructions (step by step guide)
Begin by preheating your oven to 325 degrees and greasing two cookie sheets.
Blend together the brown sugar, butter, white sugar, vanilla, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Do not melt the butter.
In a separate cup dissolve the baking soda into the warm water then combine with other ingredients in the mixing bowl.
Add in the flour and cocoa powder. Mix well with a hand mixer for about two minutes.
The batter should resemble thick frosting.
Stir in the white chocolate chips with a large spoon.
Drop the cookies onto the greased cookie sheets using a cookie scoop (about two tablespoons).
Bake for 13 to 16 minutes or until edges are slightly darkened. They may seem a little undone but this is to keep the cookies moist.

These are JUST like my childhood. This was my favorite cookie growing up. I used dark pressed cocoa to give it that dark color I remember and Tonys Chocoloney white chocolate.

I’m so glad you liked them! 🙂

Maybe I’m just reading it wrong but when do I add the cocoa powder to the batter?
Audrey says
You can add it in with the flour.

These are so good! For my own mix to them, I added dark chocolate chips because my husband is a dark chocolate fiend.
