Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 75 grams Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 120 grams Dark chocolate chips
- 50 grams Chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, and beat well until fully combined.
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 a low speed until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if using, until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough and place it onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each mound of dough slightly with the back of a spoon or your palm to ensure even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Crunchy Chocolate Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
