Chocolate Blossom Cookies Irresistibly Delicious and Easy
Indulge in the rich, chewy goodness of Chocolate Blossom Cookies. Easy to make, perfect for any occasion, and sure to satisfy your sweet cravings!
Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- This is the key to giving these cookies their rich indulgent chocolate flavor. Unsweetened cocoa allows the other ingredients to shine without being overly sweet.
½ teaspoon baking powder
- Baking powder is your secret to soft chewy cookies. It helps them rise just enough to get that perfect texture.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vanilla brings a warm subtle sweetness that enhances the chocolate flavor in every bite.
1 cup granulated sugar
- Sweetness is essential! Granulated sugar gives the cookies that crispy outer edge while still keeping the center soft and chewy.
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- Butter is the magic that makes these cookies melt in your mouth. Softened butter mixes in perfectly so make sure it’s at room temperature before you start.
1 large egg
- The egg binds everything together helping the dough stay intact and ensuring your cookies have that soft, tender texture.
1 cup chocolate chips
- The best part—chocolate chips! They melt beautifully giving you those decadent pockets of gooey chocolate in every bite. You can choose semi-sweet, dark, or milk chocolate chips based on your preference.
A pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly and come out with that perfect texture.
Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, whisk together your flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. This helps make sure all the dry ingredients are evenly blended before you incorporate them into the wet mixture. Set aside.
Cream the Butter and Sugar
- In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed. Creaming the butter and sugar properly is key to achieving that soft, chewy texture in your cookies.
Add the Egg and Vanilla
- Next, add your egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat again until fully incorporated. This is where your dough starts to take shape and smell amazing!
Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed (or with a spatula) until just combined. Don’t overmix! You want the dough to come together without becoming too dense.
Stir in the Chocolate Chips
- Once the dough is ready, fold in the chocolate chips by hand. Make sure the chips are evenly distributed throughout the dough, ensuring that every cookie has a burst of chocolate in every bite.
Chill the Dough (Optional but Recommended)
- To achieve the best texture, refrigerate your dough for a minimum of 30 minutes before baking. This step helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking, giving them that perfect, thick texture.
Scoop and Shape the Dough
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Be sure to leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie so they have room to spread. If you prefer slightly thicker cookies, gently press the dough balls down with the back of a spoon.
Bake the Cookies
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft. Remember, the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool, so don’t worry if they seem a bit underdone when you pull them out of the oven.
Cool and Enjoy
- Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes after baking before transferring them to a cooling rack to set and firm up properly. This helps them firm up without breaking. After they cool completely (if you can wait that long!), they’re ready to enjoy!
