Instructions
Preparation Steps
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will keep your cookies from sticking!
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until it's creamy and well blended. You want that smooth texture to set your cookie base.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl and continue mixing until fully combined. This will add moisture and rich flavor to your cookies.
Next, in another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. This dry mixture will help balance the wet ingredients.
Gradually add the dry mix to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; we want to keep those cookies soft!
Gently fold in the chocolate chips for that extra gooeyness. They’ll melt beautifully during baking.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave space between each cookie as they will spread.
Sprinkle some colorful sprinkles on top of each cookie to make them look fun and festive!
Bake your cookies in the preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes. They should look set but still soft in the middle.
Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
These cookies are perfect for sharing at parties or enjoying with a glass of milk. They'll be a hit with both kids and adults alike!
