Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 120 grams brown sugar (packed)
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional, if dough is too dry)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened 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 bowl. Beat on medium speed 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 just until combined. Avoid overmixing as it can affect the texture of the cookies.
Step 6
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula. If the dough feels too dry, add a tablespoon of milk to bring it together.
Step 7
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underbaked. They will firm up as they cool.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy the soft and chewy chocolate drops with a glass of cold milk or your favorite beverage!
