Ingredients 

  • ¾ cup salted butter
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 ¼ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350° F.
  • Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe dish. Use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer to whisk the butter and sugar together until homogenous.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk again on medium speed until the eggs are thoroughly beaten and fully incorporated with the butter mixture.
  • Gently whisk in the flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder on a low speed. Mix for about 2 minutes, or until there are no more pockets of dry ingredients. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Use a cookie scoop or spoon to form balls of dough the size of 2 tablespoons. Place your cookie dough on a baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  • Bake your cookies for 12 minutes and allow them to cook on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • I use a half-sheet baking pan and am able to fit 8 cookies at a time.
  • Allowing your cookies time to cool makes transferring them to the cooling rack easier and prevents the cookies from cracking at all.
  • For a more fudgy cookie you can mix ½ cup of melted chocolate chips into the batter along with the butter and sugar.
  • You can use any kind of cocoa powder in this recipe. We typically use regular cocoa powder or Dutch process for when we want a deeper, richer chocolate flavor.
  • You can store your cookies in a container on the counter for up to 6 days before they start to get stale.
  • You can freeze these cookies for up to 3 months. They are great straight from the freezer as a cold treat, or you can zap one in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
  • If you are a fan of rich chocolate flavors then you can replace the semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate.
