Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the cookies.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter with the granulated sugar, mixing until they are well incorporated.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Stir in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes smooth and homogenous.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt, ensuring the dry ingredients are well blended.
- Incorporate Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients bowl, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can toughen the cookies.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the chocolate chips to distribute them evenly through the batter.
- Form Dough Balls: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, spacing them to allow for slight spreading during baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set but the centers remain soft and fudgy.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps preserve their chewy texture.
Notes
- Ensure butter is fully melted but not hot to avoid cooking the eggs prematurely.
- Do not overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added to keep the cookies tender.
- Use parchment paper or non-stick mats to prevent cookies from sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Cookies may seem slightly underbaked when removed but will firm up as they cool.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
