How to Make Dark Chocolate Dark Brown Sugar Cookies
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy.
Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Combine the Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
Step 5: Mix the Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6: Stir in the Dark Chocolate
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7: Scoop and Shape
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded balls of dough (about 1-1.5 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8: Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake if you want that chewy texture.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
