Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 1 piece large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams mini chocolate chips
- 20 grams powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
Step 7
Shape the dough into 24 small balls, about 1.5 tablespoons of dough each. Flatten each ball slightly and use the end of a wooden spoon or a clean metal bottle cap to press a circular groove in the center, creating a wheel-like design.
Step 8
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 9
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. They should be slightly firm at the edges but soft in the center.
Step 10
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Optional: Dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar for presentation before serving.
Step 12
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
