Ingredients

  • 300 grams sugar
  • 240 grams all-purpose flour
  • 225 grams butter softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 65 grams cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 350 grams chocolate chips semi sweet or dark

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Start by creaming the sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla extract in the bowl of your stand mixer or using your hand mixer and separate bowl, until light and creamy.
  • Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl, and mix well.
  • Carefully stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. You will want to do this carefully to prevent the dry part to blow out the bowl in large clouds.
  • Add the chocolate chips and stir until evenly distributed.

Baking

  • Pinch off dough and create a ball. The size is up to you: an inch of rounded dough will give nice small cookies, while about 2 inches worth will give the size you know from well-known sandwich shops.
  • Bake the cookies for about 12-15 minutes. Larger cookies will take closer to the 15 minute-mark. When done, they will still be soft. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet before moving them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • If you prefer to offset the cocoa taste with something sweet, mix 100 grams of icing or confectioner's sugar with a few drops of water and stir into a thick mixture. When the cookies are completely cool, transfer the icing into a disposable piping bag and cut off a small corner. Moving slowly across, create a line over the cookie. Repeat for all. Allow the icing to dry before stacking the cookies.
