Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2: Cream the Butter & Sugars
Cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 3: Add Eggs & Vanilla
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 5: Fold in the White Chocolate
Gently fold in the white chocolate chips.
Step 6: Bake!
Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set and centers are slightly soft. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cook’s Notes
- Use softened butter for a smooth dough.
- Unsweetened cocoa powder is best. Dutch-process adds richer flavor.
- Don’t overbake! Slightly soft centers are key.
