Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips or chunks (dark, milk, or semi-sweet)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy—about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in eggs (one at a time) and vanilla extract to the butter mixture until fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or by hand until everything is combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Gently stir in chocolate chips or chunks.
- Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, drop balls of dough (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them a few inches apart.
- Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies should have puffed edges and slightly gooey centers.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
