Ingredients
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups (285g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (110g) light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoon (10ml) pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups (270g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (111g) cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon (4g) baking soda
- 1 teaspoon (3g) cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon (5g) salt
- ½ cup granulated sugar or sprinkles, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Soften the butter in the microwave for 10-12 seconds. Combine the butter with the sugars and beat on medium speed until the ingredients are well creamed together.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing them into the creamed butter and sugar until the eggs are well beaten.
- In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Slowly add the mixture into the combined wet ingredients, beating on medium-low speed until well combined.
- Use a large cookie scoop to scoop out balls of dough and roll them in granulated sugar, if desired. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Bake your cookies for 11-13 minutes.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
