Ingredients

• 115 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 100 grams brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 160 grams all-purpose flour
• 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 150 grams dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the bowl, and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

Fold in the dark chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them about 5 cm apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still appear slightly soft.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve warm with a glass of milk, or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
