Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks (optional)
  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
  3. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Whisk dry ingredients: In separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips and chunks (dough will be thick).
  7. Scoop dough (about 2 tbsp per cookie) onto prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers still look slightly underdone.
  9. Cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired.

Notes

  • For fudgier cookies, slightly underbake (10 minutes)
  • Dough can be refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen for 2 months
  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for best flavor
  • Let butter soften at room temperature (not melted)
  • Cookies will continue to set as they cool
