Ingredients

1 cup butter (softened)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder (regular unsweetened cocoa powder can also be used)
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Line baking sheets with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
In the mixer's bowl, cream the butter and both sugars until it becomes light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add one egg at a time and the vanilla, beating until incorporated.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this combination to the batter, beating at a low speed until just incorporated. Don't overmix it. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Make portions of 1 tablespoon each, rolling the dough between your hands and placing them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Press them lightly with the palm of your hand.
Bake for 8 to 9 minutes or until you see that it's not shiny on top anymore. Don't overbake it. They will set as they rest on the baking sheet. Let them cool for about 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!

Notes

To properly cream butter and sugar, the butter must be around 67ºF (19ºC). You can achieve this temperature by leaving the butter outside the fridge for about an hour or so before starting the recipe or beating it for a longer time.
