🍫 Ingredients:
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar (packed)
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (65g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ½ cups (270g) semisweet or dark chocolate chips/chunks
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined – don’t overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
- Scoop out large spoonfuls (about 2 tbsp each) and place on the baking sheet, spacing a few inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Let cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
💡 Pro Tips:
- Use room temperature butter for easy creaming.
- For extra gooey centers, slightly underbake and let the cookies finish setting on the tray.
- Want even more chocolate? Add a sprinkle of sea salt or press extra chocolate chunks on top before baking.
