Ingredients

  • 8 Tablespoons Butter, softened (4 ounces)
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tablespoons unsweetened dark cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate chunks

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Set oven rack to center position. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl beat butter for 1 minute. Add sugar and brown sugar and beat an additional 2 minutes until fluffy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla and beat gently until combined.
  • In a small bowl combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Blend with a whisk or fork to make sure no lumps remain.
  • Add flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture and gently blend until just combined and no streaks remain. Do not over mix.
  • Fold in chocolate chips/chunks and blend gently.
  • Place dough in small heaps, about 1 Tablespoon in size (easiest with a cookie scooper), on the baking sheet, leaving about 2" in between.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies should be golden brown and set.
  • Remove from oven and let rest on the baking sheet for 1 minute, remove to a cooling rack. Let cool completely and serve.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container, to keep fresh, for up to 3 days

Notes

  • Be sure to whisk the cocoa powder and flour together to remove any lumps before adding to the sugar mixture
  • If making the cookies smaller reduce baking time to 8-10 minutes
  • Optional: Add 1 teaspoon of instant coffee or espresso granules to the flour mixture to deepen the chocolate flavor
  • Mix up the chips for variety and color: try white, red, or peanut butter chips
