Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet lined with parchment paper
  • 1 Mixing Bowl large
  • 1 electric mixer

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Baking

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies have a crackly top and the edges are set.

Cooling

  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Storage

  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

Pro Tips: For the perfect crackly top, ensure to beat the eggs and sugars until thick and pale. Ingredient Substitutions: Substitute coconut oil for butter to make dairy-free cookies. How to Serve: Pair with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. Storage & Freshness: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for up to three months. Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
