Method
Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure that it reaches the right temperature while you prepare the cookie dough.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder until well combined.
Cream Butter and Sugar
In another bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with the combined sugars until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in Add-ins
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Baking
Scoop the Dough
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Cool and Serve
Let the cookies cool completely on the wire rack before serving. Enjoy your special cookies!
