Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)
- 1 piece large egg
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cayenne pepper, if using.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a thick, cohesive dough forms.
Step 5
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula or wooden spoon.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Gently flatten each ball slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve immediately for warm, gooey cookies, or store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Enjoy your Speedy Little Devils Cookies!
