Easy Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
Easy Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies start by melting butter until nearly liquid and mixing it with brown and granulated sugars, vanilla extract, and egg to create a smooth base. Dry ingredients including all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and kosher salt are then carefully incorporated until just mixed. Semisweet chocolate chips are folded into the dough, which is soft and slightly sticky.
The dough is portioned into medium cookie scoops, spaced on baking sheets, and baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 7 to 10 minutes until set but still puffy with a soft center. Slight underbaking keeps the cookies tender rather than crisp. The recipe suggests measuring flour by spooning and leveling rather than scooping to prevent dense cookies.
This cookie recipe yields soft chocolate cookies with a rich cocoa flavor balanced by chocolate chips, suitable for everyday baking. Larger cookies can be made by increasing scoop size and adjusting baking times. Estimated nutrition values are provided but not detailed here.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg large
- 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Microwave the butter in a large, microwave-safe bowl for about 40 seconds. Butter should be about 90% melted.
- Whisk the butter until it is completely melted.
- Add the sugars; mix until well-combined.
- Stir in vanilla and egg until incorporated.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Please read the recipe note about properly measuring flour.
- Mix dough until just combined. Dough should be soft and a little sticky but not overly sticky.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Scoop out 1.5 tablespoons of dough (medium cookie scoop) and place 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
- Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until cookies are set. They will be puffy and still look a little underbaked in the middle.3
Notes
- Measure flour by stirring or sifting first, then spoon lightly into the cup and level to avoid packing.
- Slightly underbaking the cookies helps keep them soft rather than crispy.
- For larger cookies, scoop 2 to 3 tablespoons of dough and flatten slightly, baking 9 to 10 minutes.
