Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop heaping tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers are slightly soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a slightly different twist, try adding white chocolate chips or chopped nuts like walnuts or almonds to the dough.
- If your dough seems too soft, chill it for 30 minutes before baking to help the cookies hold their shape.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, increase the amount of dark chocolate chips.
