Soft Chocolate Cookies

These one of the soft cookies I've ever had, the perfect amount of sweetness but very chocolate forward.

I created these after I stopped eating Oreos due to them being highly processed, so I came up with these as an alternative. I wasn't a fan of the filling either, but feel free to make your own icing to fill these up.

Description

Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 Cup All Purpose Flour (156g)
  • 1/2 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (41g)
  • 1 Teaspoon (TSP) Baking Soda
  • 1/8 Teaspoon (TSP) Salt
  • 1 Stick Unsalted Butter (Room Temperature) (113g)
  • 1 Cup Brown Sugar (200g)
  • 1 Large Egg (Room Temperature)
  • 2 Teaspoon (TSP) Vanilla Extract
  • Flaky Sea Salt
Instructions
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 F/ 176C

  2. 2

    Mix all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl: flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt

  3. 3

    Whip the butter with the brown sugar until well incorporated and airy, then add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix well.  

  4. 4

    Slowly mix in the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until combined. 

  5. 5

    Portion out the cookie dough balls (3-4 TBS) and spread them about 4 inches apart on a baking tray with parchment paper. 

    If you're using a stainless steel pan, you don't need parchment paper. Just use a spatula to scrap the cookie off the tray once cooled.
  6. 6

    Bake them for 8-12 minutes. I personally bake them for 8 minutes for the softest cookie, but leave it in there longer if you want a crisper cookie.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle flaky sea salt once the cookies are out the oven and let it cool completely before serving.
