Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/3 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted but not hot*
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 ¼ cups chocolate chips
Toppings
- 3–4 tablespoons chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. We’ll preheat the oven later.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all the Dry Ingredients: flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all Wet Ingredients: melted (but not hot) butter*, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture in the large bowl. Stir and fold with a rubber spatula until just combined—with no flour patches remaining. Fold in Add-ins’ chocolate chips.
- Cover bowl and place in the freezer for about 20 minutes, or until very firm throughout, but scoopable.
- In the meantime, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop cookie dough balls onto the lined cookie sheet, evenly spaced apart.
- Press Toppings’ chocolate chips into the tops of each cookie. Using a spoon or the palm of your hand, press down the top of each cookie to flatten just halfway—but no more or else you’ll have flat, spread-out cookies.
- Bake for 12-16 minutes. Mine took 14 Minutes.
- Cool cookies on the sheet until firm enough to move, 10 minutes. After cooling, transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Notes
*For the melted butter, make sure to gradually melt and bring the temp up to melt. You don’t want hot butter cooking the egg.
Storing Instructions: Cool cookies completely, then store in an airtight container at room temperature for around 1 week, or in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks.
Freezing Instructions: You can keep these cookies in the freezer for 1-3 months in a freezer-friendly container.
