Ingredients

For the Cookies

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup cocoa powder

Mix all the ingredients well to achieve a smooth dough.

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cream the Butter and Sugars

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.

Add Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually blend this into the creamed mixture.

Divide the dough in half. To one half, mix in the cocoa powder. Drop spoonfuls of both doughs onto the prepared baking sheet to create a marbled effect.

Add Chocolate Chips

Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top of the cookies.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Tips for Perfect Cookies

To ensure your cookies turn out perfectly every time, it’s essential to measure your ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale for the best results, especially for flour and cocoa powder. Additionally, make sure your butter is softened but not melted, as this can affect the texture of your cookies.

Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking can enhance the flavors and prevent spreading, resulting in thicker, chewier cookies. If you're pressed for time, a quick chill in the freezer can work in a pinch.

Storing and Freezing Cookies

To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay delicious for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Place the baked cookies in a single layer in a freezer-safe container with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.

You can also freeze the dough before baking. Shape the dough into balls, flash freeze them on a baking sheet, and then transfer them to a freezer bag. When you're ready to bake, just add a couple of minutes to the baking time for perfectly fresh cookies!
