Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Filling of choice (e.g., cream cheese frosting)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Incorporate vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure no lumps remain.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, until edges are set but centers are still slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cookies are fully cooled, spread cream cheese frosting or preferred filling on the flat side of one cookie, then sandwich with another cookie.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
Tips
- • For the most consistent cookies, use a cookie scoop to ensure uniform size and even baking. • Make sure butter is truly softened but not melted for the perfect cookie texture. • Don't overmix the dough - this can lead to tough cookies. • Let cookies cool completely before adding filling to prevent melting. • Experiment with different fillings like cream cheese frosting, Nutella, or marshmallow fluff. • Use high-quality cocoa powder for the most intense chocolate flavor. • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker, chewier cookies. • Store cookies with parchment between layers to prevent sticking and maintain freshness.
