Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- Cream the Butters and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time, along with the vanilla extract, until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
- Shape the Dough: Divide the dough into two logs, about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap each log tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Preheat the Oven: When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Slice and Bake: Remove the logs from the refrigerator and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place the cookies on a lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until slightly firm.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
