Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
-
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
-
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until smooth and well incorporated.
-
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft cookie dough forms.
-
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, portion out the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingers to your desired thickness.
-
Bake the Schokoladenkekse in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
-
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
