Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly.
Step 2: Prepare Baking Sheets
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well combined.
Step 4: Cream Butter and Sugar
In another large bowl, beat together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 5: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 6: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until everything is just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Step 7: Fold in Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in both the dark chocolate and milk chocolate chips using a spatula until they are evenly distributed in the dough.
Step 8: Scoop the Cookie Dough
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Step 9: Bake the Cookies
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly cracked.
Step 10: Cool the Cookies
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Note 1: Storage
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them fresh.
Note 2: Variations
Feel free to customize the cookies by adding nuts or using different types of chocolate chips.
Note 3: Dough Consistency
If the dough seems too soft, chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before baking.
Note 4: Baking Time
Keep an eye on the cookies while they bake, as ovens can vary. Adjust the baking time accordingly to achieve your desired texture.
