Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins and Toppings

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Sprinkles, for decoration


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined. This will form the base of your cookie dough.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which creates a smooth texture.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract into the butter and sugar mixture until thoroughly combined, adding moisture and richness to the dough.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overworking the dough and keep the cookies tender.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the semisweet chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the dough, ensuring every bite is deliciously chocolatey.
  7. Shape Dough: Using a tablespoon, scoop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each slightly with the palm of your hand to help them bake evenly.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set. They should look firm around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
  9. Cool Completely: Remove from the oven and transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. This step ensures they firm up to achieve the perfect crunchy texture.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender and prevent toughness.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  • Cookie size can be adjusted by changing the dough scoop size, but adjust baking time accordingly.
  • Cooling on a wire rack is essential for crisp texture and prevents sogginess.
