Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 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 large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure soft cookies.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
Scoop out rounded tablespoons of cookie dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. The cookies should look slightly underbaked in the center but will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to 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 for up to 5 days. Enjoy your Perfect Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies!
