- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably dark cocoa)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in dark chocolate chips.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use high-quality dark cocoa powder for the best flavor.
- Do not overbake to maintain a fudgy center.
- Chill the dough for 20-30 minutes if you prefer thicker cookies.
