Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. This will help to aerate the dry ingredients and ensure an even distribution of the cocoa powder.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Continue to beat until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tougher cookies.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your bite-sized double chocolate cookies warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week!
Tips
- Measure Accurately: For the best results, ensure you measure your flour and cocoa powder correctly. Use the spoon-and-level method to avoid dense cookies.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter and egg are at room temperature before starting. This helps create a smoother batter and contributes to a better texture.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies.
- Keep an Eye on Baking Time: Every oven is different, so start checking your cookies around the 8-minute mark. They should be set around the edges but slightly soft in the center for that perfect chewy texture.
- Chill the Dough (Optional): If you have time, chilling the dough for about 30 minutes can enhance the flavor and help the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
- Experiment with Mix-Ins: Feel free to customize your cookies by adding nuts, dried fruit, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top for an extra flavor kick.
- Storage: Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them fresh. They should stay delicious for up to a week—if they last that long!
