Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookie balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar
- 1/2 cup of butter, softened
- 1/2 cup of chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup of milk chocolate chips
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until well combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour and unsweetened cocoa powder to remove any lumps.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft cookie dough forms.
- Fold in all three types of chocolate chips - milk, white, and dark - evenly distributing them throughout the dough.
- Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly cracked.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookie balls cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing them to firm up and develop a rich, chocolatey texture.
Tips
- Ensure your butter is truly softened, but not melted, for the perfect cookie ball texture.
- Sifting the flour and cocoa powder prevents lumps and creates a smoother dough.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform-sized balls that bake evenly.
- Don't overbake - the cookies should look slightly underdone when you remove them from the oven.
- Let the cookies cool completely to achieve the ideal chewy, melt-in-your-mouth consistency.
- For extra indulgence, roll the cooled cookie balls in powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
- For best results, use high-quality chocolate chips for maximum flavor.
