Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup natural cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

• Combine the dry ingredients: Mix flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until combined. Set aside.
• Mix the butter and sugars: Add the butter and both sugars to a large bowl. Mix with a fork, whisk or stand mixer until just combined.
• Add the eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs and vanilla to the butter mixture and continue to mix until fully combined.
• Add the dry ingredients: Add flour mixture to the butter mixture. Use a rubber spatula to fold the mixture until a smooth dough forms. If you are using a stand mixer, mix on low speed until just combined.
• Add the chocolate chips: Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Dump in the chocolate chips and mix the dough until the chocolate chips are evenly distributed.
• Scoop and chill the dough: Scoop and roll the dough into approximately 1-tablespoon balls and place them on a large plate. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to chill for at least 1 hour.
• Bake the cookies: Place the cookies on the baking sheet at least 4 inches. Bake for 12 minutes in a preheated 350° F oven.
• Cool before serving: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
