Chocolate Cookie Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
5. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft to the touch.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Verdict:

These chocolate cookies are rich, chocolaty and irresistible. The combination of semisweet chocolate chips and cocoa powder makes them perfectly chocolatey. They are soft and chewy with crispy edges. You won’t be able to eat just one!

Serving Suggestions:

These chocolate cookies are perfect on their own with a cold glass of milk or a warm cup of coffee. They can also be sandwiched with vanilla ice cream to make chocolate cookie ice cream sandwiches. Enjoy them as an afternoon snack or a late night treat.
