Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Add-ins and Toppings

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • Colorful sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, use a mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined, which usually takes about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully blended. Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to remove lumps and evenly distribute the leavening agents. Gradually mix these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the cookie dough, distributing them evenly throughout without deflating the batter.
  6. Shape the Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading. Flatten each slightly with the back of a spoon to encourage even baking.
  7. Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the cookie edges are set and firm but the centers remain soft and fudgy for that signature chewy texture.
  8. Add Sprinkles and Cool: Upon removing from the oven, immediately sprinkle colorful sprinkles over the warm cookies to let them adhere. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, helping them firm up without becoming hard.

Notes

  • For extra fudginess, do not overbake; remove cookies as soon as edges are set.
  • Use room temperature butter and eggs for better mixing and texture.
  • You can customize with different types of chocolate chips (white, milk, or dark) or additional mix-ins like nuts.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week for freshness.
  • Sprinkles add a festive touch but can be omitted or replaced with chopped nuts or candies.
