Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour for structure
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder for rich chocolate flavor
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder to help cookies rise
- 1/4 teaspoon salt to enhance sweetness
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar for sweetness and moisture
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed) for depth of flavor and moisture
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted) for richness
- 2 large eggs for binding and moisture
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for flavor
Optional Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chocolate chunks or chips optional, for extra chocolatey goodness
- flaky salt optional, for finishing touch
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
- Gradually combine the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined.
- If using chocolate chunks or chips, fold them into the dough at this point.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Optionally, top each dough ball with additional chocolate chunks and a light sprinkle of flaky salt if desired.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set while the centers remain soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for the best results, avoid overmixing, and monitor baking time closely.
