Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie 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 are still soft.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
