Ingredients
Cookie Dough Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 11.5 oz package chocolate chips (about 1¾ cups)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
- Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Beat until just combined.
- Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl and ensure everything is evenly mixed.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for deeper flavor).
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- If the dough is too firm, let it rest at room temperature for 10–15 minutes until scoopable.
- Scoop the dough using a cookie scoop or rounded tablespoon and place balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers are still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 3–5 minutes.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
