How to Make Cocoa Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened butter, 4 ounces (113g) softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup (50g) packed light brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 large egg white until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups (210g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
