Instructions
Make Cookies With Dark Chocolate: A Simple Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
- Mix in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips evenly with a spatula.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing evenly. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- Electric mixer or stand mixer
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Baking Sheets
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mats
- Spoon or Cookie Scoop
Notes
- Use softened but not melted butter for the best dough consistency.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies with less spread.
- Use a cookie scoop to ensure even sizing and uniform baking.
- Do not overbake; cookies continue cooking on the hot baking sheet after removal.
- For extra gooeyness, add chopped dark chocolate chunks along with chips.
