Ingredients

  • ½ cup (113g) butter, VERY soft
  • ⅔ cup (125g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (55g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (135g) all purpose flour
  • ½ cup (40g) unsweetened natural cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (90g) chocolate chips
  • extra chocolate chips for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer (or use a hand mixer) fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Scape the bowl as needed. Add the egg and vanilla and beat just until combined.
  • Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low speed until almost combined, scraping the sides as needed. Add chocolate chips and mix by hand or on low speed just until everything is combined.
  • Using a large cookie scoop (#24) scoop dough and place a couple of inches apart on baking tray. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are set and center is under baked. Remove from oven and immediately press a few chocolate chips on the tops of each cookie if desired. Let cool on baking sheet 5 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.

Notes

  1. If you don't have a #24 cookie scoop dough into almost 3 tablespoon portions. 
  2. This dough is a little sticky so a cookie scoop is very helpful.
  3. STORAGE: Store completely cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  4. FREEZER FRIENDLY: DOUGH: Scoop dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes. Remove frozen cookie dough and place in a freezer safe container or bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
    BAKED COOKIES: Place completely cooled cookies in a freezer safe container and freeze for up to 3 months.
