Instructions
This is a simple cookie recipe that comes together quickly. It only takes a few steps.
Step 1: Prep
Measure all of your ingredients and set out your butter to soften. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or apply nonstick spray.
Step 2: Combine the Dry Dough Ingredients
Whisk the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt to combine in a mixing bowl.
Step 3: Combine the Wet Dough Ingredients
Cream the butter and sugars together in a separate mixing bowl until fluffy. Then, add the eggs and vanilla and beat again until well combined.
Step 4: Make the Cookie Dough
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until thoroughly combined. Then, fold in the chocolate chips.
Step 5: Bake
Scoop the dough into rounded heaping tablespoons and add them to the baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between the cookie dough balls. Bake for 12 minutes. Then, remove the cookies and place them on a wire rack to cool. Enjoy!
Hint: A hand mixer is the best way to get the light, fluffy texture you need when creaming the butter and sugar.
