Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Make sure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this ensures the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough after adding dry ingredients, as this can make cookies tough.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips for the most intense chocolate flavor.
- For uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to measure dough portions.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep them soft and fresh.
- For extra indulgence, try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for a gourmet touch.
