Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips or colorful cosmic candy pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt until well combined to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, beat the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract together until smooth and fully incorporated.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a fudgy dough forms. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a tender texture.
  4. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips or colorful cosmic candy pieces evenly throughout the dough.
  5. Scoop Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart to allow for slight spreading.
  6. Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look fudgy but not wet.
  7. Cool Slightly: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely slightly before serving to maintain their fudgy texture.

Notes

  • For extra fudginess, slightly underbake the cookies, as they will firm up while cooling.
  • You can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • For a double chocolate boost, use semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks instead of candy pieces.
  • Make sure the butter is melted but not hot to avoid cooking the eggs when mixing.
