Double Chocolate Cookies

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour (1 1/4 cups)
• Cocoa powder (1/2 cup)
• Baking soda (1/2 teaspoon)
• Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
• Unsalted butter (1/2 cup (1 stick), softened)
• Granulated sugar (1/2 cup)
• Brown sugar (1/2 cup, packed)
• Egg (1 large)
• Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
• Semi-sweet chocolate chips (1 cup)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, mixing until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Enjoy these delicious double chocolate cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
