Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (for richness and moisture)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (adds sweetness and chewiness)
- 2 large eggs (for structure and richness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (enhances the flavor)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (for structure)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for deep chocolate flavor)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder (helps the cookies rise slightly)
- 1/4 tsp salt (balances the sweetness)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for melty pockets of chocolate)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Add Dry Ingredients:
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Scoop the Dough:
- Drop tablespoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake:
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Cool:
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a lighter version, reduce the sugar to 3/4 cup and use dark chocolate chips.
- Double the recipe for larger gatherings—these cookies disappear fast!
