Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until combined.
- In another bowl, cream melted butter with granulated and brown sugars until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep pockets of gooey goodness.
- Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are firm but centers remain soft; they will continue cooking while cooling on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
