Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- 1 cup optional mix-ins (nuts, dried fruit, or candy pieces)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chunks and any optional mix-ins of your choice, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
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.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
