Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Mini rainbow chocolate chips or candy sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula to ensure even distribution.
  6. Scoop out 1.5 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Lightly press down on each cookie ball and sprinkle with mini rainbow chocolate chips or candy sprinkles.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies will look slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Don’t overbake the cookies; they should look slightly underdone when removed from the oven.’, ‘Allow butter and eggs to come to room temperature for better mixing and texture.’, ‘Chill the dough for 20 minutes if it feels too sticky to roll.’, ‘Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 5 days.’, ‘Double the batch as these cookies disappear quickly!’]
