Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. This ensures even distribution of ingredients throughout the dough.
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the unsalted butter with both brown and white sugars until light, fluffy, and creamy, creating the perfect base for moisture and texture.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then stir in the vanilla extract to add warmth and depth to the flavor.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined to avoid overworking the dough and to maintain softness.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently mix in chocolate chips or chunks, distributing them evenly without breaking them up too much.
  6. Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them adequately. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until the edges set but the centers remain soft and gooey.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack so they firm up slightly while keeping their indulgent texture inside.

Notes

  • Use Room Temperature Butter: Helps achieve proper creaming with sugars for a tender crumb.
  • Do Not Overmix: Mixing just enough keeps cookies soft and cakey rather than tough.
  • Chill the Dough: Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes if you want thicker cookies.
  • Watch Baking Time Closely: Slight underbaking results in gooier centers; avoid overbaking.
  • Use High-Quality Cocoa: Enhances chocolate intensity and overall richness.
