Instructions

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Mix dry ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Pro tip: Whisking helps distribute the baking soda evenly.

Cream butter and sugar

In a large bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Pro tip: Make sure the butter is soft for easier mixing.

Add egg and vanilla

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Pro tip: Ensure the egg is at room temperature to prevent curdling.

Combine wet and dry ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Pro tip: Do not overmix to keep the cookies tender.

Shape the cookies

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Flatten slightly to form puck shapes and place on the prepared baking sheets.

Pro tip: For uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop.

Bake the cookies

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centres are slightly soft.

Pro tip: Cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.

Cool and serve

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
