Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour Spoon and level the flour for accuracy.
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Consider using higher-quality chocolate for better flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your cookies soft.
- Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
Baking
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges look firm but the centers remain soft. They will continue to cook slightly after you remove them from the oven.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking to enhance the flavors and texture. You can also customize the recipe by adding nuts, using different types of chocolate, or incorporating spices for a unique flavor.
