Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined.
Mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large bowl until the texture appears smooth.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating well until the liquid incorporates fully.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients slowly using a silicone spatula until no streaks of flour remain.
Stir the chocolate chips into the dough evenly.
Chill the prepared dough in the refrigerator for at least thirty minutes to firm up the fats.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes until the edges are set.

Notes

Dutch-processed cocoa is highly recommended for the best color and flavor. Resting the dough is essential to prevent excessive spreading and to deepen the flavor profile. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
