Ingredients
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar (packed)
- 1 unit Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet 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 medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment to cream the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugars, and mix until well combined.
Step 5
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underbaked. Do not overbake to ensure a soft and chewy texture.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy your delicious chocolate cookies with a glass of cold milk or share them with loved ones!
