Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, along with the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the creamed butter mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula.
Baking
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out rounded balls of dough and place them on a lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges look set and the centers may appear slightly underbaked.
- Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For best results, use room temperature ingredients and chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking if desired. Experiment with mix-ins like nuts or sprinkles for a twist.
