Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 3/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • Optional: Mini Marshmallows for add-ins

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be thick.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Nutrition

Keywords: For thicker cookies, consider chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking. You can add mini marshmallows to the dough for a classic hot chocolate experience or sprinkle sea salt on top before baking for a sweet and salty contrast.
