Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  2. 1 cup brown sugar
  3. 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  4. 2 large eggs
  5. 2 tsp vanilla extract
  6. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  7. 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  8. 1 tsp baking soda
  9. 1/2 tsp salt
  10. 2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer. Beat for 3-4 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes. The cookies should look slightly underbaked in the center, as they will continue to set while cooling.
  9. 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.
  10. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain their soft and chewy texture.

Tips

  1. • Use room temperature butter and eggs for smoother, more evenly mixed dough • Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to tough, dense cookies • Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips for maximum flavor • Slightly underbake the cookies to maintain that irresistible soft and chewy texture • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for more concentrated flavors and better cookie shape • Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking • Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to help them set properly • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and soft texture
