Bake these Chewy Chocolate Cookies! This recipe delivers rich, fudgy cocoa flavor with a perfectly soft, chewy texture. Don't skip the coarse sugar finish.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Coarse sugar or salt for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- In a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla, ensuring each is well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined, taking care not to overmix. Refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes.

- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet and bake until the edges are set, about 9 minutes.
- Sprinkle with coarse sugar or salt immediately after baking for an extra flavor kick.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Keep your cookies in an airtight container to maintain their chewy goodness.
