How to Bake Dark Chocolate Cookies

Baking dark chocolate cookies is a delicious and easy treat that you can make in the comfort of your own home. Follow these simple steps to create a batch of mouth-watering cookies:

Ingredients: - 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour - 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder - 1 tsp baking powder - 1/2 tsp salt - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature - 1 cup granulated sugar - 2 large eggs - 1 tsp vanilla extract - 8 oz dark chocolate, chopped into chunks or chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then, add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.

4. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until everything is well combined. Fold in the chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips.

5. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out about 2 inches apart.

6. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.

7. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. Serve the dark chocolate cookies with a cold glass of milk, and enjoy!

Pro tips: - Make sure your butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help it to mix together more easily and create a lighter, fluffier cookie. - For a fudgier cookie, bake them for the minimum time listed in the recipe. - If you want your cookies to have a little extra crunch, sprinkle some sea salt on top before baking.
