Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Light brown sugar
- 1 unit Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 140 grams All-purpose flour
- 40 grams Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 100 grams Chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer on medium speed (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, sift 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 desired, fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Step 7
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on 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 appear soft. Be careful not to overbake.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy your cocoa powder cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite warm beverage!
