Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix-Ins

  • 1 cup chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Gather and measure all ingredients. Soften butter to room temperature. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt for even distribution of flavors.
  3. Cream the Butter and Sugars: Using a mixer, cream softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy to create the chewy-soft cookie texture.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract to bind the dough and enhance flavor depth.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined to keep the cookies tender and cake-like without overmixing.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in chocolate chips or chunks for melted chocolate pockets in every bite.
  7. Scoop and Bake: Drop generous spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheet, spaced apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft. Let cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for easier creaming and better texture.
  • Remove cookies from oven when edges are firm but centers look slightly underdone for a chewy softness.
  • Chill dough for at least 30 minutes to make firmer cookies and enhance flavor.
  • Dark Dutch-processed cocoa powder is preferred for richer color and taste.
  • Mix in nuts or different types of chocolate chips for added texture and flavor variations.
