Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a handheld or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until thoroughly combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing slowly until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still appear slightly soft.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your delicious, homemade chocolate cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
