Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup 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, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk together until well blended and slightly smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure no lumps remain.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions 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 but not wet.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
Tips
- Make sure your butter is melted but not scorching hot when mixing with sugars to ensure the perfect texture.
- Don't overmix the dough! Mix just until the ingredients are combined to keep the cookies tender and soft.
- For extra indulgence, use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips - the better the ingredients, the more amazing the cookies.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies that bake evenly and look professionally made.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
- For maximum freshness, store in an airtight container and enjoy within 5 days, or freeze for up to a month.
