Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks (or a mix of chocolate chips and chunks for extra texture)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for added creaminess)
Instructions:
1. Preheat Your Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to ensure the cookies bake evenly and don’t stick.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. This step ensures that the dry ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed throughout the dough.
3. Cream the Butter and Sugars:
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes. Creaming the butter and sugars properly is key to achieving that perfect cookie texture.
4. Add the Eggs and Vanilla:
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract. The mixture should look smooth and slightly creamy at this point.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this can lead to dense cookies. You want the dough to be soft and slightly thick.
