Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups chocolate chunks (mixed dark and semi-sweet)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Cream Butter & Sugars: In a large bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add Eggs & Vanilla: Mix in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing at low speed.
- Fold in Chocolate Chunks: Gently mix in chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop dough balls onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between them.
- Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain slightly soft.
- Cool: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra gooey texture, slightly underbake the cookies and let them finish cooking on the sheet.
- Using chopped chocolate bars instead of pre-packaged chunks creates better melt pockets in the cookies.
- To enhance the chocolate flavor, add a teaspoon of espresso powder to the dough.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
