Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Dry Ingredients:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
Flavoring:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt ½ cup unsalted butter in the microwave at 50% power for 30 seconds. Stir in 1 cup granulated sugar until the mixture looks smooth and glossy.
- Crack 2 large eggs into the butter-sugar mixture. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and whisk until fully incorporated and slightly frothy.
- Sift ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon baking powder together in a separate bowl.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing the batter.
- Gently stir in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake at 350°F for 11-12 minutes, watching carefully to ensure the edges look set but the centers remain slightly soft.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let cookies rest for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Measure cocoa powder carefully to avoid dry or crumbly cookies, using a level measuring cup for accuracy.
- Allow butter to cool slightly after melting so it doesn’t cook the eggs when mixing.
- Use room temperature eggs for smoother batter and more consistent cookie texture.
- For gluten-free version, swap wheat flour with almond flour or a gluten-free blend, which will create a slightly different but still delicious result.
