Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract, egg, and milk to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until fully combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 6
If using, fold the chocolate chips into the dough with a spatula.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto 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 and the centers look slightly soft. Do not overbake; the cookies will firm up as they cool.
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 the cookies fresh, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
