Description

Rich chocolate cookies with a hint of cinnamon, perfect for a cozy treat.


Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and cinnamon.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Stir in the cocoa powder and cinnamon mixture until evenly distributed.
  8. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  9. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  10. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra chocolatey flavor, you can use mini chocolate chips or a mix of different chocolate chip varieties.
  • If you prefer a chewier cookie, slightly underbake them.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
