Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Gathering your ingredients will make the baking process seamless and fun!
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This can take about 3-5 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together to eliminate any lumps.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture.
- Stir in the chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving enough space between each for spreading.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers look slightly underbaked.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient substitutions: You can replace unsalted butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free version, and use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar for added richness.
- Optional variations: Add chopped nuts or dried fruit for an extra flavor boost, or sprinkle sea salt on top of the cookies right before baking for a delicious sweet-salty contrast.
- Storage tips: Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer and transfer to a freezer bag once frozen.
