Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and sour cream to the sugar-butter mixture. Beat until smooth and fully incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients in batches, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft. Avoid overbaking for a softer texture.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve with a cold glass of milk or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy your sour cream chocolate cookies!
