Title: Little Chocolate Cookies
Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour

– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until smooth and well incorporated.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
6. Gently fold in the miniature chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to create a round cookie shape.
9. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
10. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
