Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and creamy (2-3 minutes).
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in chocolate chips, if using.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set but centers remain soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra indulgence, add white chocolate chips or nuts.
Chilling the dough for 30 minutes can enhance the flavor and texture.
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
