Equipment

kitchenaid mixer
baking sheet
parchment paper baking sheets
measuring cups and spoons
turner
cookie scoop

Ingredients

1 cup Butter (softened)
1 cup Brown Sugar
1 cup Sugar
2 large Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla
2/3 cup Unsweetened Baking Cocoa Powder
2 1/4 cup Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 cups Chocolate Chips (semi-sweet or milk)
Sea Salt Flakes (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and sugar for 4 minutes, or until light and creamy.
Add eggs and vanilla and mix for 1 minute longer. Scrape the sides of the bowl.
Stir in cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips.
Roll into balls and place on parchment lined baking sheet. Press more chocolate chunks in and around the cookie balls, if so desired. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until cookies begin to puff up and the sides begin to indent. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before removing from pan.

Notes

I used a mix of Guittard milk chocolate chips and Guittard milk chocolate baking wafers.

What type of cocoa powder is best for baking?

Cocoa Powder comes in natural and Dutch versions. Dutch raises the cocoa powder's pH levels, which neutralizes its acids and rounds out its flavor. Both natural and Dutch cocoa will work in recipes. Dutch-processed cocoa will produce baked goods with a darker color and moister texture.

My favorite cocoa powder to use is Dutch-process cocoa powder. I love to use Callebaut Dutched Cocoa Powder. It has a warmer color with reddish-brown notes. It is slightly sweeter than the dark dutch cocoa powder. I find this unsweetened cocoa powder in the bulk section at Winco. It is much less expensive at Winco than you can find online.

What kind of chocolate chips are best for baking?

I usually use semi-sweet chocolate chips, but a close second is milk chocolate when I want the cookies to be sweeter. My personal favorite brands to use in cookies are Guittard, Ghirardelli, and Trader Joe’s.
