Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (add more if desired)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two cookie sheets or baking trays with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the cocoa powder, white sugar, melted butter, and vegetable oil. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until completely blended and smooth.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir the flour, baking powder, and salt together separately, then gradually add to the wet mixture. Mix just until a dough forms, taking care not to over beat to maintain fudgy texture. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips gently.
- Scoop Dough onto Sheets: Using a cookie scoop or small ice cream scoop, portion out 1-2 tablespoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared sheets. Press the dough balls down to your desired thickness, depending on whether you want thicker or thinner cookies.
- Bake the Cookies: Place the sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove when cookies are still soft but set; they will firm up as they cool. Avoid over baking to prevent dryness.
- Cool Properly: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Do not over mix the dough to keep the cookies fudgy and soft.
- Press cookies down before baking to control thickness.
- Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Add more chocolate chips for extra gooey chocolate texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
