Ingredients

• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.33 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a handheld or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until thoroughly combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing slowly until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still appear slightly soft.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy your delicious, homemade chocolate cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
