150kcal
Ingredients
Main 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
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Cream them together until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until incorporated.
- 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!
- Carefully fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
- 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.
Baking
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Ingredient Substitutions: If you're out of eggs, 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.
