Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
Binding Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange two parchment-lined baking sheets to ensure your cookies won’t stick.
- Cream 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and airy.
- Add 2 large eggs individually, mixing thoroughly after each incorporation. Blend in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract for enhanced flavor depth.
- Sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt in a separate bowl.
- Incorporate dry ingredients into butter mixture, stirring minimally to maintain a tender cookie texture.
- Fold 2 cups chocolate chips throughout the dough, ensuring even distribution.
- Portion dough into rounded tablespoon-sized balls, spacing them 2 inches apart on prepared sheets.
- Bake for 9 minutes at 350°F (175°C), watching for set edges and soft centers.
- Rest cookies on baking sheet for 5 minutes, allowing them to firm slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading and help the cookies hold their shape during baking.
- For extra-rich chocolate flavor, swap half the chocolate chips with chunks of dark chocolate or chopped chocolate bars.
- Room temperature butter blends more smoothly, creating a more uniform cookie texture that’s soft and chewy.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure even browning on the bottom of your cookies.
