How to Make It
Note: This is an overview. See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
Grab all your ingredients and let them come to room temperature. This ensures everything mixes together smoothly, giving you that perfect cookie texture.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Crack in the eggs and mix until the batter is glossy and slightly thickened.
Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—this keeps the cookies tender and gooey.
Step 4: Fold in the Chocolate Chips
Toss in a generous handful of chocolate chips (or chunks!) and fold them into the batter. This is where the magic happens—those melty pockets of chocolate are what make these cookies next-level delicious.
Step 5: Scoop and Bake
Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop mounds of dough onto a lined baking sheet. Pop them in the oven and bake until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Trust me, you want that gooey middle!
Step 6: Cool and Enjoy
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set without losing their fudgy texture. Then, dig in!
Pro Tips
- Use High-Quality Cocoa Powder: It makes all the difference in achieving that rich, chocolatey flavor.
- Don’t Overbake: Pull the cookies out when the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underdone. They’ll continue to cook on the baking sheet.
- Add a Pinch of Espresso Powder: It enhances the chocolate flavor without making the cookies taste like coffee.
- Customize Your Mix-Ins: Swap chocolate chips for white chocolate, peanut butter chips, or even chopped nuts.
Storage
- Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: Place cooled cookies in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
- Reheat: Pop them in the microwave for 10 seconds to bring back that fresh-from-the-oven gooeyness.
