Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1 piece Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 190 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 150 grams Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Milk (optional, for softening dough)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk 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. Avoid overmixing.
If the dough feels too stiff or crumbly, add one tablespoon of milk and gently mix to soften the dough.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, portion out the dough into balls (about 1.5 tablespoons each) and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes. The cookies should appear slightly underbaked in the center when you take them out of the oven.
Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy their soft, chocolaty goodness!
