Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar (packed)
- 1 unit Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet 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 medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment to cream the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugars, and mix until well combined.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underbaked. Do not overbake to ensure a soft and chewy texture.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your delicious chocolate cookies with a glass of cold milk or share them with loved ones!
