Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Preparing the ingredients to create these delightful cookies.
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- One at a time, beat in the eggs, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix this dry ingredient blend into the creamed mixture until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop generous spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient substitutions: For a dairy-free option, substitute the unsalted butter with coconut oil or vegan butter. You can also use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar for a deeper flavor.
- Optional variations: Add 1 cup of chopped nuts or dried fruit to enhance the texture and flavor of the cookies. You can also swirl in peanut butter or Nutella for a unique twist.
- Storage or reheating tips: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For a warm treat, reheat in the microwave for a few seconds before enjoying.
