Cuisine: American
Serves: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white 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 medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
- Add brown sugar and granulated sugar to the melted butter. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and crack the egg into the mixture. Mix until the egg is fully incorporated and the batter looks glossy.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to ensure no lumps remain.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie 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 sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent texture.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can lead to tough cookies. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes, which helps ensure even baking.
- For extra richness, use high-quality cocoa powder and butter.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain their soft, chewy texture.
- For a fun variation, try adding chopped nuts or dark chocolate chips alongside the white chocolate chips.
- If the dough seems too soft, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before baking.
