Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups (220 grams) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (65 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup (115 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100 grams) packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup (170 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Assemble all ingredients needed for the recipe to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a mixer, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined, which typically takes several minutes.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix the dry ingredient blend into the creamed butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla extract, stirring just until the dough comes together without overmixing to keep it tender.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring even distribution without breaking the chips.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop or shape dough portions into rounds and evenly place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat, leaving room for spreading.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly undercooked for a soft texture.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For chewier cookies, slightly underbake and allow cooling on the baking sheet.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips according to preference.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- For an extra chocolate kick, sprinkle a few additional chocolate chips on top of each cookie before baking.
- Ensure butter is softened but not melted to achieve the best texture when creaming with sugars.
