Description
Prepare this delicious recipe for all-chocolate black cocoa cookies with dark chocolate chips. Enjoy the intense flavor from the black cocoa and those chunks of dark chocolate. (Makes 12 cookies).
Ingredients
- 120 g unsalted butter – very soft or melted and cooled (1/2 cup)
- 50 g white granulated sugar (1/4 cup)
- 80 g brown sugar (1/3 cup)
- 1 large egg – at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 195 g all-purpose flour (1 1/2 cups)
- 25 g black cocoa powder (1/4 cup)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 150 g dark chocolate chips – or a mix with chocolate chunks (about 1 cup)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, black cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter with the white sugar and brown sugar for about 2 minutes until creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat again for 1 minute to combine.
- Finally, add the dry ingredient mixture and the chocolate chips, and mix with a spatula until a smooth dough forms.
- Using an ice cream scoop, form cookie dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet (6 to 8 per sheet).
- Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes until the edges are firm but the centers are still slightly soft (they will continue to bake outside the oven and firm up as they cool).
- Let the cookies cool slightly before transferring them to a countertop or cooling rack.
- Sprinkle a little sea salt on top if desired and enjoy!

Tips and Tricks:
- Use very soft butter, or melted and cooled butter.
- Use ingredients at room temperature.
- Cream the butter and sugar for at least 2 minutes with a mixer.
- Gently fold in the dry ingredients with a spatula or wooden spoon.
- Bake the cookies immediately (no need to chill the dough).
- Don’t overbake; slightly underbaked cookies will be softer and chewier.
