Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 300 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 320 grams all-purpose flour
- 80 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 50 grams turbinado sugar (for rolling, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed. Stir until no dry streaks remain, but do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions (approximately 140 grams each) and roll each one into a ball. If desired, roll the balls in turbinado sugar for a crunchy exterior.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 3 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Using the palm of your hand, gently press each dough ball to slightly flatten it.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers appear slightly underbaked. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these giant chocolate sugar cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
