Ingredients:
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
Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is well mixed before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift in the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined to avoid overmixing.
Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
Scoop and Flatten Dough: Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart. Flatten each scoop slightly with the back of a spoon.
Bake: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
Add Sprinkles: Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately top them with colorful sprinkles. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving Tips:
Presentation: Arrange the cookies on a colorful platter or tiered cake stand to showcase their vibrant sprinkles. This makes them even more enticing and perfect for parties or special occasions.
Pairing: Serve these cookies with a glass of cold milk, a hot cup of coffee, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat.
Garnishing: For an extra touch, drizzle a little melted chocolate over the cookies before adding the sprinkles. This adds an extra layer of decadence and makes the cookies look even more appealing.
Gift Idea: Pack these cookies in decorative boxes or bags tied with a ribbon for a charming homemade gift. They’re perfect for birthdays, holidays, or just to brighten someone’s day.
Storage Tips:
Room Temperature: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to a week. Make sure the container is properly sealed to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
Freezing: To extend their shelf life, freeze the cookies. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to three months. When ready to eat, thaw the cookies at room temperature.
Layering: If you need to stack the cookies in a container, place a sheet of parchment paper between each layer to prevent them from sticking together.
Reheating: For that fresh-out-of-the-oven taste, reheat the cookies in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds. This will make them warm and gooey again.
