Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Chocolate Chips

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly blended.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overworking the dough and keep cookies tender.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the dough to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Shape and Place Dough: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the lined baking sheets, spacing each approximately 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges look firm but the centers remain slightly soft, which ensures a chewy texture.
  9. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes to set, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra fudgy texture, slightly underbake the cookies by removing them from the oven when centers still look a bit soft.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips depending on your preference.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • If the dough is too soft to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking.
