Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon optional espresso powder Boosts the chocolate flavor.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature For better mixing and smoother dough.
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Adds delightful aroma.
  • 2 tablespoons milk With additional if needed (up to 1/4 cup total).
Chocolate Chips and Garnish
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips Used in portions; reserve some for garnish.
  • to taste teaspoon sea salt Optional for garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes with an electric mixer).
  2. Add in the eggs, one at a time, allowing each to fully incorporate before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and optional espresso powder.
  4. Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Add enough milk to form a dough that’s soft yet firm, not sticky.
  5. Fold in 1 ½ cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips, reserving the rest for later.
  6. With lightly floured hands, form the dough into 1.5-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chilling
  1. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance texture and prevent excessive spreading.
Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Press a few reserved chocolate chips into the top of each cookie.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain soft and gooey.
  3. Cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Optionally, sprinkle with sea salt for garnish.

Notes

For a vegan version, replace butter with coconut oil or dairy-free butter and use flax eggs instead. Experiment with different types of chocolate chips for a twist.
