Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup holiday-themed sprinkles or decorations
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Step 7
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon and add holiday-themed sprinkles or decorations on top, pressing gently to adhere them.
Step 9
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
Step 10
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
