Instructions

Preheat the oven

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

Cream the butter and sugars

In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and well-combined.

Pro tip: Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.

Add eggs and vanilla

Mix in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until fully incorporated.

Pro tip: Scrape down the sides of the bowl for even mixing.

Combine dry ingredients

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

Pro tip: Sift the cocoa powder to prevent lumps.

Mix wet and dry ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Pro tip: Avoid overmixing to ensure tender cookies.

Fold in chocolate chips

Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Chill the dough

Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to enhance flavour and texture.

Pro tip: Chilling helps prevent spreading during baking.

Shape and bake

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set.

Pro tip: For softer centres, bake until just set.

Cool the cookies

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