Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Sea salt flakes (for topping, optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth and well blended. Add in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Add Sea Salt: If desired, sprinkle a few flakes of sea salt on top of each cookie.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. They will continue to cook on the baking sheet after being removed from the oven.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
