Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (226g)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed (220g)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (360g)
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder (50g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (340g)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Baking
  1. Drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto ungreased cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges feel firm but the centers may still look soft.
  3. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

Chill the Dough: Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes for better shape and flavor. Mix-In Ideas: Add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or coffee granules for extra flavor. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze dough for up to three months.
