Indulge in the rich, gooey decadence of Chocolate Drops—your new favorite cookie recipe! These bite-sized treats boast a perfectly soft and chewy texture, thanks to the heavenly combination of unsalted butter, a mix of granulated and brown sugars, and a hint of milk for added tenderness. Infused with unsweetened cocoa powder and studded with bursts of semi-sweet chocolate chips, each bite delivers an irresistible chocolate overload. With just 15 minutes of prep time and a quick 10-minute bake, these crowd-pleasing cookies are as easy to make as they are delicious. Whether enjoyed fresh out of the oven or stored for later, Chocolate Drops make the perfect sweet snack or dessert for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. The dough will be thick.
Stir in the milk to help bring the dough together, then fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking trays, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just set. The centers may still look slightly soft, but they will continue to firm up as they cool.
Remove the trays from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking trays for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy your homemade Chocolate Drops!
