Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each one is incorporated fully before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the delicious chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a spoon, drop generous spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until you see the edges firm up. The centers might look slightly soft; that’s perfect!
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient substitutions: You can substitute the butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free version, and use flax eggs instead of regular eggs for a vegan option.
- Optional variations: Add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for added texture and flavor.
- Storage or reheating tips: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to regain their softness.
