Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (85g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon (3g) salt
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
