Ingredients
- 8 tbsp salted butter melted
- ½ cup white sugar I prefer Trader Joe's Organic Sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 egg give it a quick mix before putting it in
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- ¾ cup white baking chips I used Trader Joe's White Baking Chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325F
- Melt butter in a covered bowl in the microwave. I found 45 seconds to be about the right amount of time. You only want it melted and not bubbling.
- Add both sugars and melted butter and combine in a mixing bowl. I used an electric mixer to make this. To me, it wasn't worth dirtying my Kitchenaid stand mixer.
- Once butter and sugars are combined add egg and vanilla and mix until just incorporated. Please don't over mix.
- Add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into the bowl and mix until it forms a dough. Once again, please don't over mix. Just mix long enough so the ingredients are combined, form a dough, and there is no dry ingredients up the sides of your mixing bowl.
- Add chocolate chips and combine.
- With a medium cookie scoop (or roll in your hands) place cookies on cookie sheet lined with parchment or a silpat. You should get about 15 cookies. These cookies will spread slightly, so please leave about 1-2" between each row.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes. They key here is to not over bake them. Chocolate cookies are a bit tough to tell when they are done. When in doubt, stop at the 12 minute mark.
- Allow to sit and cool on cookie sheet for about 30 minutes to both cool and become more solid. If you rush this and place them on a cooling rack you'll have a mess.
- Enjoy with a glass of your favorite milk and enjoy. Sharing might be caring, but can be optional as well.
