Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips

These are the key ingredients that will make your cookies scrumptious!

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Cream them together until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until incorporated.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
5. Carefully fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
6. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop generous spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Variations

• Ingredient Substitutions: If you’re out of eggs, you can replace each egg with 1/4 cup of applesauce for a vegan version. Use coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free alternative.
• Optional Variations: Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the cookies before baking for a sweet-salty twist, or mix in nuts for added crunch.
• Storage Tips: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. To reheat, warm them in the microwave for a few seconds until just soft.
