Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

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

Chocolate Chips

  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or Silpat liners to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and creamy.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until fully blended.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until all the dry ingredients are incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep your cookies tender.
  6. Stir in Chocolate Chips: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough using a spatula or wooden spoon.
  7. Scoop Dough: Using a small cookie scoop or rounded spoonful, drop the dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them adequately to allow for spreading.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned but centers remain soft and slightly underbaked for a chewy texture.
  9. Cool Cookies: Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • For extra festive Halloween treats, consider adding orange and black sprinkles or decorating with Halloween-themed icing after baking.
  • Make sure the butter is softened but not melted for proper creaming with the sugars.
  • Do not overbake; cookies will continue to firm up on the baking sheet as they cool.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
