Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes) using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough into equal-sized balls (about 1.5 inches in diameter) and place them 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 and the centers look slightly soft. Do not overbake for a gooey texture.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage. Enjoy!
