Soft and chewy with a fudgy center, these cookies are perfect for any occasion where a sweet treat is needed.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • Colorful sprinkles (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to ensure cookies don’t stick during baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create a soft cookie texture.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to incorporate air, then stir in the vanilla extract for flavor depth.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures an even distribution and prevents lumps in your dough.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet: Gradually mix the sifted dry ingredients into the creamed mixture until just combined to avoid overworking the dough, which can make cookies tough.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough for bursts of melted chocolate in every bite.
  7. Scoop and Flatten Dough: Using a spoon or scoop, place dough portions on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each ball of dough with the back of a spoon for even baking.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The edges should be set but the centers remain soft to achieve a fudgy texture.
  9. Add Sprinkles and Cool: Immediately after removing from the oven, sprinkle colorful sprinkles on top so they adhere as the cookies cool. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra fudginess, slightly underbake the cookies by reducing baking time by 1-2 minutes.
  • You can substitute chocolate chips with chunks or your favorite mix-ins like nuts or white chocolate.
  • Ensure the butter is softened but not melted for proper creaming with sugars.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Use parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
