Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Sugars:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Wet Ingredients and Seasonings:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the center for even baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, melt butter and whisk together granulated and brown sugars until the mixture becomes silky and well-incorporated.
- Introduce eggs individually to the sugar-butter blend, thoroughly integrating each one before adding the next, then stir in vanilla extract for enhanced flavor depth.
- Separately, sift together cocoa powder, flour, and salt to eliminate potential lumps and ensure smooth texture.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, using a gentle folding technique to maintain the batter’s airiness and prevent over-mixing.
- Delicately fold chocolate chips throughout the dough, distributing them evenly for consistent chocolate experience in each cookie.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat to prevent sticking and promote easy cookie removal.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, deposit dough portions approximately two inches apart to allow sufficient spreading during baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for firm edges while maintaining soft, slightly gooey centers – a hallmark of decadent brownie-like cookies.
- Remove from oven and let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack for complete cooling.
Notes
- Check butter temperature to ensure smooth mixing and ideal cookie texture.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough, dense cookies that lose their soft, fudgy appeal.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips for richer, more intense chocolate flavor.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet to help them set and develop a perfect chewy consistency.
