Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate

  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix on low speed until combined, then increase to medium speed and beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat on medium speed just until combined, around 30 seconds, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients while mixing on low speed. Mix until just combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
  5. Fold in Chocolates: Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold in the milk chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Portion Dough: Divide the dough into 8 to 10 equal portions, each weighing approximately 5 to 6 ounces. Roll each portion into a ball with your hands and place them spaced out on the prepared baking sheets, about 4 to 5 cookies per pan, leaving room for spreading.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 11 to 14 minutes, or until the tops look set but the centers remain soft.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 15 minutes to firm up before serving warm or transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely and preserve their texture.

Notes

  • Using two types of chocolate chips (milk and dark) adds a deeper chocolate flavor and interesting texture.
  • For consistent cookie size and baking, weigh the dough balls for even portions.
  • Do not overbake; cookies should be soft in the center when removed from the oven as they continue to firm up while cooling.
  • Butter should be softened but not melted to achieve the right cookie texture.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
