Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups Light brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Dark chocolate chips (or chunks)
• 2 tablespoons Whole milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter in short bursts (20–30 seconds) until fully melted but not boiling. Let it cool slightly.

Step 3

Add the light brown sugar and granulated sugar to the melted butter. Whisk until well combined and smooth.

Step 4

Mix in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Continue whisking until the mixture is thick and glossy.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, ensuring there are no lumps in the cocoa powder.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a rubber spatula or spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can affect the texture of the cookies.

Step 7

Stir in the dark chocolate chips (or chunks) and whole milk, folding gently to incorporate everything evenly. The dough will be thick and fudgy.

Step 8

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, spoon out 2-tablespoon-sized mounds of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10–11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underbaked. Do not overbake to ensure moist centers.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheets for 5–7 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve the cookies warm or at room temperature for an intensely fudgy and moist experience!
