Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Light brown sugar
- 1 unit Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 140 grams All-purpose flour
- 40 grams Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 100 grams Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer on medium speed (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well 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. Avoid overmixing.
If desired, fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on 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 appear soft. Be careful not to overbake.
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.
Enjoy your cocoa powder cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite warm beverage!
