Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 370F degrees and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats; set aside.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder in a medium-sized bowl; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, using an electric or stand mixer, cream together the butter, sugars, and vanilla extract until combined.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing between each egg.
  • Add flour mixture and mix until just combined and be careful not to overmix!
  • Using a spatula, stir in chocolate chips until combined.
  • Using a cookie scoop, scoop dough into balls about 2 tablespoons each and place onto prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10 minutes or cookies start to crack on top.
  • Immediately after taking cookies out of the oven, place additional chocolate chips on top of cookies, and let cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack.
