Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup light brown sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips together, stirring frequently, until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture while whisking continuously until fully incorporated.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Fold in the remaining 0.5 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and the optional chopped nuts, if using.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

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.
