How to Make Perfectly Scrumptious Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ½ cup vegetable shortening, 2 large eggs, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, and ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips on low speed until evenly distributed.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
