Total Time: 27 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 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 medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently press down on each cookie dough ball to slightly flatten, which helps create a more uniform shape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still 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.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients: Ensure your butter, egg, and other ingredients are at room temperature for the best texture and mixing.
- Don't overmix the dough: Mix just until the ingredients are combined to keep the cookies tender and soft.
- Chill the dough: For even more intense flavor and better cookie shape, consider chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder: The better the cocoa, the richer the chocolate flavor.
- Watch the baking time carefully: Remove cookies when the edges are set but the center still looks slightly underbaked - they'll continue to set as they cool.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies: This ensures even baking and consistent size.
- Allow cookies to cool completely: This helps them set and develop their perfect fudgy texture.
- Store properly: Keep in an airtight container to maintain maximum freshness and softness.
