Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  4. In another bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
  5. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  6. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
Baking
  1. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked.
  3. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving
  1. Once cooled, serve these delicious cookies on a platter.
  2. Consider pairing them with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage.
  3. Enjoy as a sweet treat any time of day!

Notes

For extra chewy cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. Do not overbake; cookies will continue to firm up as they cool. Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh. High-quality vanilla extract enhances the flavor.
