Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup dark chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue to cook it, stirring frequently, until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Let it cool for a few minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the brown sugar and granulated sugar together. Then, pour in the browned butter and stir until well combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, beating until it’s smooth and creamy.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mix, stirring just until combined.
- Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks until they’re evenly distributed.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes. They should be set around the edges but still soft in the center.
- Let the cookies cool for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a softer cookie, remove them from the oven when the edges are set but the center looks underbaked.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for several days.
- Add a pinch of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Sprinkle sea salt on top before baking for a sweet and salty finish.
