Ingredients
- All-purpose flour: 1 1/2 cups
- Unsweetened cocoa powder: 3/4 cup
- Baking soda: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- Unsalted butter, softened: 1/2 cup (1 stick)
- Granulated sugar: 3/4 cup
- Brown sugar, packed: 3/4 cup
- Eggs: 2 large
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips: 1 cup
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Step 3: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Step 5: Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Step 6: Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to keep them soft.
- To gently warm cookies, microwave for 5-10 seconds, restoring that fresh-baked gooeyness.
- Serve these rich cookies with a cold glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.
- For an extra fudgy cookie, slightly underbake them and let them set completely on the baking sheet.
