Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop equal-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
