Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 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. Beat for 3-4 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed 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 9-11 minutes. The cookies should look slightly underbaked in the center, as they will continue to set while cooling.
- 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 cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain their soft and chewy texture.
Tips
- • 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
