Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Additional:
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, Dutch cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
- Bake the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra rich flavor, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- These cookies freeze well and taste even better the next day.
