Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Chocolate Chips
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create a tender cookie texture.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time to incorporate evenly, then add the vanilla extract for flavor.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and cocoa.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough which can make the cookies tough.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in both the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips gently to distribute them throughout the dough.
- Portion the Dough: Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly soft for a chewy texture.
- Cool the Cookies: Remove from oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, preventing them from breaking apart.
Notes
- For extra chocolate flavor, press a few additional chocolate chips on top of each dough ball before baking.
- You can substitute semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips with dark chocolate chips or white chocolate chips based on your preference.
