Description
Deliciously chewy chocolate chip cookies made with Dutch process cocoa for extra richness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¾ cups all purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- ⅔ cup Dutch process cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine the dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
- Combine the butter and sugars. In a second bowl whisk together melted butter granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
- Add eggs and vanilla. Add eggs and whisk to combine. Whisk in vanilla until evenly combined.
- Add the dry ingredients. Stir in the flour mixture and chocolate chips and stir just until just combined.
- Chill the cookies. Using a 1-inch cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop the cookie dough into 1 ½ inch ball. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Cover the cookie sheet with plastic wrap. Refrigerate dough for at least two hours, up to overnight.
- Preheat and prepare cookie sheets. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Place chilled cookie dough balls on to a parchment lined baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake and cool the cookies. Bake cookie sheet on the middle rack for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and middles are puffy. Remove from the oven. I like to use a large drinking glass or round cookie cutter and shape the cookies to make perfectly round as soon as they come out. I also like to top each warm cookie with a few additional chocolate chips for a pretty presentation. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Chill the dough for a firmer cookie.
- Make sure your oven is preheated for the best results.
- Add additional chocolate chips on top for decoration.
