Description

Delicious cookies featuring a delightful swirl of rich chocolate and creamy vanilla dough, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy – about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Divide the dough in half. To one half, mix in cocoa powder until well combined.
  7. Take spoonfuls of each dough and alternate them on your prepared baking sheets. Swirl them together in a figure-eight motion.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden, but the centers remain soft.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Switch up the location of the baking sheets halfway through baking for even heat distribution. Don’t overbake to maintain a chewy texture.
