Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
- Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create a soft cookie texture.
- Add egg and vanilla: Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, ensuring the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and cocoa throughout the flour.
- Mix dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can make cookies tough.
- Fold in white chocolate chips: Gently fold the white chocolate chips into the cookie dough to evenly distribute the creamy sweetness throughout the rich chocolate dough.
- Shape the cookies: Use a tablespoon-sized scoop or spoon to form dough balls, placing them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets to give them room to spread.
- Bake the cookies: Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains soft, ensuring chewy, tender cookies.
- Cool the cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps them firm up properly.
Notes
- Do not overbake the cookies for soft centers; remove them as soon as the edges set.
- For thicker cookies, chill the dough in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes before baking.
- Substitute dark chocolate chips for a deeper, richer chocolate flavor instead of white chocolate chips.
- Cookies will firm up as they cool, so they might feel soft when removed but will set nicely.
