Chocolate Cookie Recipe
This easy Chocolate Cookie Recipe yields chewy, melt-in-your-mouth treats studded with chocolate chips—your new go-to homemade dessert that’s as fun to bake as it is to share.
Instructions
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats so cookies release easily.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla.
- Gradually add the dry mix to the wet ingredients, stirring with a spatula until just combined—overmixing can lead to tough cookies.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared sheets, spacing each about 2 inches apart.
- Let cookies rest on the sheet for 5 minutes—they firm up beautifully—and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Room-temperature ingredients blend faster and more evenly—trust me, it’s worth the few extra minutes. Chilling dough tightens flavors and curbs spreading—especially on a warm morning. Brown sugar brings chewiness; granulated sugar helps edges crisp—find your perfect ratio. Never skip sifting cocoa powder; small lumps turn into bitter surprises. A pinch of espresso enhances the chocolate flavor without any coffee taste.
