Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This keeps the cookies from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. This will ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
• In another bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This will help make the cookies soft.
• Add the eggs and vanilla extract into the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
• Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix to keep those cookies tender.
• Fold in the chocolate chips for an extra burst of chocolatey goodness.
• Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly doughy. They will firm up as they cool.
• Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy the irresistible aroma that fills your kitchen!
