Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour 180g
- ¼ cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 stick unsalted butter softened, 1/2 cup
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Step-by-Step Guide
STEP 1 : Note this cookie dough is super thick, it will take some work to combine the dough. Be sure to properly measure the flour by using the spoon and level method or by measuring by weight.For the cookies in the photos, the dough balls were about 3 heaping tablespoons, so that’s a large cookie! I baked those for 10-13 minutes – just until the edge of the cookie would begin to turn firm up. If your dough balls are smaller, reduce the bake time.
STEP 2 : Preheat the oven to 350ºF. In a mixing bowl, combine the all purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt and 1/2 cup chocolate chips
STEP 3 : In a separate mixing bowl cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together with a mixer on low.
STEP 4 : Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mix again on low. Gently add in the dry ingredients, mixing on low or by hand just until combined.
STEP 5 : Use a cookie scoop to drop dough balls on a silicone mat lined baking sheet. Use the remaining 1 cup chocolate chips and press lots of chips on the outside of the balls.
STEP 6 : Place the cookies 3 inches apart on a silicone lined baking sheet and bake for 10-13 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack. Bake one cookie sheet at a time.
