Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Dutch processed cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Decoration

  • 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and creamy, creating a smooth base for your cookie dough.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Then, gradually add the flour, baking soda, Dutch cocoa powder, and salt, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough. Gently fold in 2/3 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  4. Shape and Decorate Cookies: Scoop out 8 equally sized balls of cookie dough and place them spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet. Top each ball with the remaining 1/3 cup of chocolate chips and gently flatten the cookies to about 1 inch thick for even baking.
  5. Bake and Cool: Bake the cookies for 10 minutes in the preheated oven until set. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely for the best texture.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overmix the dough after adding dry ingredients to keep cookies tender.
  • Using Dutch processed cocoa powder gives a richer flavor and darker color.
  • For softer cookies, do not overbake; they will firm up as they cool.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 3 days.
  • You can freeze cookie dough balls for up to 1 month; bake directly from frozen adding a minute or two to baking time.
