How to Make Soft Chocolate Drop Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. High altitude baking may require slightly less time; start checking at 14 minutes.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
