Preparation

  2. Cream together the butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually beat the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking

  2. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Freezing the dough balls is also an option for longer storage.
