Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 120 grams brown sugar (packed)
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional, if dough is too dry)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat on medium speed until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing as it can affect the texture of the cookies.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula. If the dough feels too dry, add a tablespoon of milk to bring it together.
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underbaked. They will firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the soft and chewy chocolate drops with a glass of cold milk or your favorite beverage!
