Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups white sugar
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅔ cup cocoa powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Add-Ins

  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven & Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the oven is ready when your dough is assembled.
  2. Cream Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the white sugar, softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create a tender cookie.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. This helps evenly distribute the leavening and cocoa throughout the dough.
  4. Mix Wet & Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the butter mixture. Stir until everything is just combined and a thick chocolate dough forms.
  5. Fold In Chocolate Chips & Walnuts: Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and, if using, the chopped walnuts. Stir just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  6. Shape the Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of dough about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Giving them space allows them to spread while baking.
  7. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies are just set. The centers should look slightly soft; they will continue to set as they cool.
  8. Cool: Allow cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy your freshly baked, ultra-chocolaty cookies!

Notes

  • For chewier cookies, slightly underbake and let them finish setting while cooling.
  • The walnuts add crunch and a nutty flavor, but you can leave them out for a nut-free option.
  • Try mixing in white or milk chocolate chips for variety.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
  • These cookies freeze well; freeze the dough balls or baked cookies for up to 3 months.
