Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.
- Sift in the cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually fold in the flour until a thick batter forms. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Shape the Cookies:
- Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the Cookies:
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve:
- Dust with powdered sugar if desired and enjoy! These cookies are best served with a glass of milk for the ultimate treat.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is melted and slightly cooled before mixing to prevent cooking the eggs.
- For a chewier texture, slightly underbake the cookies.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help maintain the cookie shape.
