Ingredients

• 115 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 100 grams Brown sugar (light or dark)
• 1 piece Large egg
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 190 grams All-purpose flour
• 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 150 grams Semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon Milk (optional, for softening dough)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

If the dough feels too stiff or crumbly, add one tablespoon of milk and gently mix to soften the dough.

Step 7

Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 8

Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, portion out the dough into balls (about 1.5 tablespoons each) and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes. The cookies should appear slightly underbaked in the center when you take them out of the oven.

Step 10

Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy their soft, chocolaty goodness!
