- 100 grams brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 160 grams all-purpose flour

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the bowl, and beat until fully 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 just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the dark chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them about 5 cm apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still appear slightly soft.
Step 9
Remove the tray from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm with a glass of milk, or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
