Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup milk chocolate chips (optional, for extra richness)
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ cups (375 ml) all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Calibrate oven to 350F (175C) and layer baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat for optimal non-stick surface.
- Ingredient Integration: Whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing vessel, creating a uniform dry foundation.
- Butter Transformation: Cream butter with granulated and brown sugars until texture becomes ethereal and voluminous, approximately 3 minutes.
- Liquid Incorporation: Introduce eggs individually, blending smoothly, then infuse vanilla extract for enhanced aromatic complexity.
- Mixture Fusion: Merge dry ingredients into wet components, stirring gently until thoroughly combined without overmixing.
- Chocolate Infusion: Delicately fold semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips throughout dough, ensuring even distribution.
- Dough Portioning: Deploy cookie scoop to create uniform mounds, positioning each approximately 2 inches apart on prepared surface.
- Baking Sequence: Roast cookies for 8-10 minutes, targeting set edges with slightly tender centers, recognizing they’ll continue firming during cooling process.
- Cooling Protocol: Allow cookies to rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transition to wire rack for complete temperature equilibration.
Notes
- Ensure butter is softened at room temperature but not melted, which helps create a perfect creamy texture and even mixing.
- Fold chocolate chips gently to prevent overmixing and ensure even chip placement throughout the cookie dough.
- Watch cookies closely during 8-10 minute baking window; slight underbaking creates chewier cookies with soft centers.
- Store cookies in airtight container with parchment between layers to maintain moisture and prevent sticking, keeping them fresh for 3-4 days.
