Ingredients
- Unsalted Butter, softened: 1/2 cup (113g)
- Granulated Sugar: 1/2 cup (100g)
- Brown Sugar, packed: 1/2 cup (100g)
- Large Eggs: 1
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
- All-Purpose Flour: 1 1/4 cups (156g)
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: 1/2 cup (40g)
- Chocolate Chips: 1 cup (170g)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Step 3: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and cocoa powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Step 5: Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Step 6: Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain their soft texture.
- For a warm, gooey treat, microwave a cookie for 10-15 seconds.
- Serve these rich cookies with a cold glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.
- Don't overmix the dough after adding the flour; this ensures a tender cookie, not a tough one.
