Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
- 3/4 cup (90g) all-purpose flour (can substitute with gluten-free flour blend)
- 1/2 cup (90g) chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (at least 60% cacao)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer or whisk until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Sift the cocoa powder into the butter-sugar mixture and blend until smooth and chocolatey.
- Gradually fold in the flour gently with a spatula until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
- Fold in the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate until evenly distributed.
- Scoop the dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers still look slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish setting.
Notes
Use softened, not melted butter for best texture. Sift cocoa powder to avoid lumps. Avoid overmixing after adding flour to keep cookies fudgy. Watch baking time closely to prevent drying out. Chill dough for 15 minutes if cookies spread too thin. Use quality chocolate for best flavor.
