Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the vanilla extract and egg until well combined.
• Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, then stir in the chocolate chips.
• Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
• Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
