Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup butter (at room temperature )
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until fully combined.
  • Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until combined.
  • Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Scoop 3-tablespoon portions of dough (about the size of a large cookie scoop) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
  • Bake for 11–13 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra pretty cookies, press a few extra chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies before baking.
  • For deeper flavor, use dark chocolate chips or add a pinch of espresso powder to the dough.
  • Use any chocolate chips you like or have on hand! Dark chocolate chips will give your cookies a more intense chocolate flavor and less sweetness. Semi-sweet chocolate chips work wonderfully, too.
