Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Light brown sugar, packed
• 1 piece Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.33 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips

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 large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened 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

Fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look soft. Be careful not to overbake to retain their soft texture.

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

Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy your melt-in-your-mouth chocolate drop cookies!
