Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, Dutch-process cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Make sure not to overmix!
  • If you’re using chocolate chips, fold them in now.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
