Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Avoid over-mixing.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or spoon.
Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it into a ball. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers look slightly underbaked.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the fudge cookies fresh or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
