Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup cocoa powder
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and gather all your ingredients.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Add Mix-Ins: Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts (if using) for extra texture and flavor.
- Portion the Dough: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between cookies.
- Bake: Bake for 8–10 minutes or until the cookies are just set. They will look slightly underdone but will firm up as they cool.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks. Serve warm or store for later!
Notes
- For thicker cookies, chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking.
- Experiment with mix-ins like white chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or toffee bits for creative variations.
- Slightly underbake the cookies to keep them soft and chewy.
