Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup black cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 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 the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, ensuring complete incorporation.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, black cocoa powder, and baking soda to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of 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 look slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets 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
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted for the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't Overmix: Mix the dry ingredients just until combined to keep the cookies tender and soft.
- Use High-Quality Black Cocoa: The darker and richer the cocoa, the more intense the chocolate flavor.
- Chill the Dough: For even more flavor development, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Use Parchment Paper: This prevents sticking and ensures even baking.
- Watch Baking Time Carefully: These cookies can quickly go from perfectly soft to overdone, so keep a close eye on them.
- Allow Proper Cooling: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
