Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet, milk, or mixed)
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional, enhances chocolate flavor)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips (and nuts if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets using a cookie scoop, leaving 2 inches between cookies.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set but centers still look slightly underdone.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra chewy cookies, slightly underbake them and allow them to finish setting on the hot baking sheet.
  • The dough can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • For bakery-style cookies, reserve some chocolate chips to press into the tops just before baking.
  • Nutrition facts are estimates and may vary based on ingredients used, portion sizes, and preparation methods.
