Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (sub ¼ cup with Dutch-processed for richer flavor)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chunks
  • Flake sea salt, optional for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips and chunks.
  7. Chill the dough for 15–20 minutes to prevent spreading.
  8. Use a large cookie scoop to place dough on the baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until edges are set and centers look slightly soft.
  10. Let cookies cool on the pan for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  11. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.

Notes

  • Chill the dough to ensure thicker, chewier cookies.
  • Add extra chocolate chunks on top before baking for visual appeal.
  • Use a mix of chocolates or substitute with white or caramel chips for variety.
  • Cookies will continue baking on the pan after being removed from the oven.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
