Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour Use a kitchen scale for precise measurement.
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted For a deeper flavor, consider browning the butter.
- 2 large eggs For chewier cookies, add an extra egg yolk.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins
- 1 cup chocolate chips Optional for added chocolate flavor.
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts Optional, can use walnuts or pecans.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the melted butter with the eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk until everything is fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over mix.
- If using chocolate chips or nuts, fold them in gently.
Baking
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. The edges should look set while the centers may still seem slightly soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent dessert. Consider freezing the cookie dough for later use or adding different flavor extracts for variety.
