Chocolate Drop Cookies - Doug Bakes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set. The centers may appear slightly soft but will firm up as they cool.
  9. Once done, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
