Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup (33g) cocoa powder
- 1 cup (180g) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (110g) light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup (66g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Flavoring:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare baking workspace by positioning oven rack in middle position and heating to 375F (190C). Cover two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine dry ingredients through a fine-mesh sifter, ensuring cocoa powder and flour are lump-free and evenly mixed.
- Using an electric mixer, blend butter and sugars at medium speed until texture becomes light, airy, and pale, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Incorporate egg and vanilla extract into butter mixture, mixing until completely integrated and smooth.
- Gradually add sifted dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain cookie tenderness.
- Gently fold chocolate chips throughout dough, distributing evenly with minimal stirring.
- Portion dough into uniform rounds using cookie scoop, spacing them 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, watching for slightly crisp edges and soft center. Remove and let cookies rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies.
- Swap regular chocolate chips with dark, milk, or white chocolate for flavor variations that match your preference.
- Use gluten-free flour blend as a direct substitute to make these cookies suitable for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Slightly underbake the cookies for a gooey center that remains soft and rich after cooling completely.
