Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams dark brown sugar, packed
- 60 ml molasses
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 175 grams all-purpose flour
- 25 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 100 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 120 grams raisins
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, dark brown sugar, and molasses using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate medium-sized bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Fold in the chocolate chips and raisins using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly undercooked. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
