Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
