Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Light brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look soft. Be careful not to overbake to retain their soft texture.
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 your melt-in-your-mouth chocolate drop cookies!
