- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar

Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour For a healthier version, substitute half with whole wheat flour.

- ½ teaspoon salt
Chocolate Chips
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor.

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and, if using, white chocolate chips.
Baking
- Drop rounded balls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the centers still look slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Enjoy
- Once cooled, enjoy the cookies on their own or with a glass of milk!
Notes
For thicker cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. You can experiment with different mix-ins such as nuts or dried fruit.
