Gather the ingredients for a mouthwatering batch of cookies.
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually stir the dry mixture into the creamed mixture until just incorporated.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them a few inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: You can substitute coconut oil for unsalted butter for a dairy-free version. Use brown sugar alone for added richness or try a mix of dark and semi-sweet chocolate chips for an extra layer of flavor.
- Optional Variations: Add nuts like walnuts or pecans for a crunchy texture or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for a sweet-salty contrast.
- Storage or Reheating Tips: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To enjoy them warm again, simply pop them in the microwave for a few seconds.
