How to Make Perfectly Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips (or a combination of chocolate chips and M&Ms/nuts).
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. (Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven.)
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
