Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter, softened Make sure it's at room temperature.
  • 1 cup brown sugar Packed for maximum sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs Ensure they're at room temperature.
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Use fresh for the best results.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Can use dark, milk, or white chocolate.
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder Unsweetened for a rich flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, fully integrating each one before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture and blend until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spaced out to allow for spreading.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until edges are set and centers look slightly soft.
  2. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
