Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup cups unsalted butter, softened Ensure butter is at room temperature.
  • 1 cup cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup cups brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 3 cups cups all-purpose flour Measure accurately to avoid dry cookies.
  • 1/2 cup cups unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon teaspoons salt

Method
 

Baking
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and both sugars until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer).
  3. Add the large eggs and vanilla extract, beating until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are set. Centers may look underbaked but will firm up while cooling.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for up to three months. To reheat, warm in a microwave or oven.
