Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams dark brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 60 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 120 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 100 grams granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter (about 30-45 seconds). Let it cool slightly.
Add the granulated sugar and dark brown sugar to the melted butter, whisking until smooth and well combined.
Crack in the eggs and add the vanilla extract. Whisk again until the mixture is creamy.
In a separate medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon until a dough forms.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough into 24 balls (about 1.5 tablespoons each).
Roll each ball in the extra granulated sugar until fully coated and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your sugar crusted chocolate cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
