Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup Granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and granulated sugar. Cream together until light and fluffy. Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder, mixing gently to form a consistent dough without overworking it.
  2. Shape the Cookies: Once the dough is ready, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  3. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies have a slight crackle on top.
  4. Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder.
  • Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Do not overbake to maintain a soft, chewy texture.
  • Optional: sprinkle a little sugar on top before baking for extra crunch.
