- parchment paper etc
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder adding a deep and intense chocolate flavor to the recipe, contributing to the rich and indulgent taste of your baked goods.
- 1 pinch of kosher salt enhancing the flavors of the other ingredients and bringing balance to the sweetness, ensuring a harmonious and well-rounded taste in your baked treats.
- 1/2 tsp of pure vanilla essence or extract infusing the batter with a delicate and aromatic vanilla flavor, enhancing the overall taste profile and adding a hint of warmth and sweetness.
- 3/4 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips offering bursts of rich and decadent chocolate throughout the recipe, creating pockets of gooey and melty goodness that elevate the taste and texture of your baked goods.
- 1 egg serving as a binding agent that adds structure and moisture to the batter, contributing to the overall richness and tenderness of the final product.
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter bringing a creamy and buttery flavor to the recipe, imparting a luscious and melt-in-your-mouth quality to your baked treats.
- 3/4 cup of white granulated sugar providing sweetness and a touch of caramelization during baking, enhancing the flavor and creating a pleasant sweetness in every bite.
- 1 cup of self-raising flour providing the perfect balance of flour and leavening agents to ensure a fluffy and light texture in your baked goods, resulting in delightful and airy treats.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, cocoa powder and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, ensuring that it is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir well until combined. Be careful not to overmix, which can lead to a tougher cookie.
- Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if desired. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. This allows room for the cookies to spread as they bake.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges. The centers may appear slightly undercooked but will firm up as the cookies cool. Once the cookies have cooled completely, indulge in their irresistible deliciousness.
Notes
- Using self-raising flour for this recipe is important, as it provides the necessary lift to the cookies. If you don't have self-raising flour, you can make your own by adding 2 teaspoons of baking powder to every cup of all-purpose flour.
- Ensure your butter is softened to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will ensure easy mixing and smooth dough.
- Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added. Overmixing can result in tough cookies. Mix until the ingredients are just combined.
- For an extra touch of flavor, you can add chopped nuts or shredded coconut to the dough along with the chocolate chips.
