Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually 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 or wooden spoon.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies appear set around the edges but still soft in the center. Avoid overbaking.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies warm for an extra gooey texture, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
