Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually beat into the butter mixture. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts, if using.
- Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are just set. Remember, they will continue to cook on the baking sheet!
- Remove from oven, and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For thicker cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Keep an eye on your cookies as oven temperatures may vary; it’s better to check them a minute early than a minute late!
