Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter Ensure it's at room temperature for easy mixing.
  • 3/4 cup dark brown sugar Packed for a deep, rich flavor.
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar Adds sweetness and balance to the dough.
  • 1 large egg Use at room temperature for better incorporation into the batter.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla Enhances the overall flavor profile of your cookies.
  • 1 tablespoon molasses Contributes moisture and a hint of complexity.
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Spoon and level for accurate measurement.
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Sifted to prevent clumps; recommended Hershey’s Special Dark.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Acts as a leavening agent for fluffy cookies.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Balances the sweetness in the dough.
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar For rolling the cookie dough before baking.
  • 1 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips Recommended Ghirardelli for high-quality taste.
  • 1 teaspoon coconut or vegetable oil Helps achieve a soft texture in your cookies.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the large egg, vanilla extract, and molasses to the creamed mixture. Mix until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sifted cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until blended. Gradually add this dry mixture into your wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Scoop out tablespoons of dough, roll them into balls, and roll them in granulated sugar. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 10 minutes until set around the edges but still soft in the center.
