Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 40 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 150 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Use an electric mixer to cream them together until the mixture is light and fluffy, around 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, sift 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, as it can make the cookies tougher.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough 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 appear slightly soft. Avoid overbaking for the softest texture.
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.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your soft chocolate cookies!
