Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter softened
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cups bittersweet chocolate chips I use Ghiardelli Bittersweet 60%

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined and creamy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla, beating for another minute until incorporated.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry mixture to the butter mixture and beat again until well combined. Use a spoon to mix in the chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least an hour or more.
  • Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (or alternately, leave it ungreased).
  • Using a medium cookie scoop (1 ½ tablespoon), scoop the dough, use your hands to roll it into a ball, and transfer it to the cookie sheet. Repeat to fill the cookie sheet (12 cookies), placing the balls about 2-inches apart. Refrigerate the remaining dough in between batches.
  • Bake for 10 to13 minutes in the preheated oven, or just until set - they will spread slightly and form cracks on top. The cookies will seem slightly soft but don't be tempted to bake longer. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the cookie sheet for 3 to 4 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
