Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Blend Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Chill the Dough: Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat Oven: When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice and Bake: Remove the dough logs from the fridge and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
