Description
Deliciously rich and chewy chocolate chip cookies made with Dutch cocoa powder and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¾ cups all purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- ⅔ cup Dutch process cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine the dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
- Combine the butter and sugars. In a second bowl whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
- Add eggs and vanilla. Add eggs and whisk to combine. Whisk in vanilla until evenly combined.
- Add the dry ingredients. Stir in the flour mixture and chocolate chips and stir just until combined.
- Chill the cookies. Using a 1-inch cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop the cookie dough into 1 ½ inch ball. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Cover the cookie sheet with plastic wrap. Refrigerate dough for at least two hours, up to overnight.
- Preheat and prepare cookie sheets. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Place chilled cookie dough balls on to a parchment lined baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake and cool the cookies. Bake cookie sheet on the middle rack for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and middles are puffy. Remove from the oven. Shape the cookies to make perfectly round as soon as they come out. Optionally, top each warm cookie with a few additional chocolate chips for presentation. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For best results, chill the dough overnight.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate chips for varied flavors.
