Ingredients

Scale

Creaming Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Chocolate Chips

  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to ensure nonstick baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a mixer or wooden spoon until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which takes about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to incorporate fully. Then stir in the vanilla extract to enhance flavor.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and cocoa.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in both the semisweet and milk chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
  7. Portion Dough: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft, ensuring chewy texture inside.
  9. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • For fudgier cookies, reduce baking time slightly or add an extra egg yolk.
  • If you prefer a more intense chocolate flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder.
  • Ensure butter is softened but not melted for best creaming results.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Chocolate chips can be swapped for chunks or a single type if preferred.
