Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 & 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup dutch processed cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Chocolate Chips
- 2/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips (for dough)
- 1/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips (for decoration)
- Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. This ensures the cookies bake evenly and do not stick.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This step incorporates air, helping to create a soft texture.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the large egg and vanilla extract until fully combined. Then, gradually add in the flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix just until everything is combined, being careful not to overmix which can toughen the cookies. Fold in 2/3 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips gently.
- Shape the Cookies: Scoop out 8 equally sized balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Top each cookie ball with the remaining 1/3 cup of chocolate chips, then gently flatten each cookie to about 1 inch thickness to help them bake evenly.
- Bake and Cool: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Once baked, allow them to cool on the baking sheet for an additional 10 minutes to firm up, then transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for easy creaming and better texture.
- Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added to avoid dense cookies.
- Flattening the dough balls to about 1 inch thick helps achieve the perfect chewy yet crispy texture.
- Letting cookies cool on the baking sheet before transferring prevents breaking.
- For extra fudginess, you can chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
