How to Make Chocolate Cookies
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Step 4: Fold in the Chocolate
- Gently mix in the chocolate chips for extra gooey goodness.
Step 5: Shape & Bake
- Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Step 6: Cool & Enjoy
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Serve warm with a glass of milk or store in an airtight container.
Tips for the Best Chocolate Cookies
✔ Use quality cocoa powder – For the best chocolate flavor, opt for Dutch-processed or high-quality cocoa.
✔ Chill the dough – If you want extra chewy cookies, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
✔ Don’t overbake – The cookies will continue to cook on the baking sheet, so take them out when they look slightly underdone.
Variations to Try
🌰 Nutty Delight – Add chopped walnuts or pecans for a crunchy twist.
🍬 Stuffed Cookies – Place a caramel or marshmallow in the center of each dough ball for a surprise filling.
🔥 Spicy Chocolate – Add a pinch of cinnamon or chili powder for a bold flavor.
