Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until thoroughly combined to ensure even distribution of flavors and leavening.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, melt the unsalted butter, then whisk it together with the eggs and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated, creating the moist base for your cookies.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until blended. Be careful not to overmix, which can result in tougher cookies.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips so they are evenly distributed throughout the dough, ensuring gooey pockets of melted chocolate in every bite.
- Scoop and Bake: Using a tablespoon, scoop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced apart to allow spreading. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain soft for that perfect fudgy texture.
- Cool and Serve: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Do not overmix the dough to keep the cookies tender and fudgy.
- For extra chewiness, you can refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- These cookies freeze well; freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months or freeze dough balls and bake fresh when desired.
- Use parchment paper or silicone baking mats for the best nonstick results.
