Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup mini chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and the 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully combined. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Slowly add the slightly cooled chocolate mixture to the sugar and egg mixture, whisking until fully combined.

Step 5

In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Stir in the mini chocolate chips and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 8

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set, but the centers still look slightly underbaked. This will ensure they stay chewy.

Step 10

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
