Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
¾ cup brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate large bowl, mix melted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth.
4. Add egg and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients and whisk until combined.
5. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until a thick dough forms.
6. Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
7. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
8. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until edges look set but centers are still soft.
9. Allow cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.
10. Serve warm for that fresh-from-the-oven, melt-in-your-mouth magic!
Notes
For extra decadence, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top before baking.
Chill the dough for 10 minutes if you prefer thicker cookies.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Reheat in the microwave for 10 seconds to enjoy them warm again.
