Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

I had a craving and just had to make some soft and gooey chocolate chip cookies. Probably next time I’d reverse the measurements for the sugars (i.e. ½ cup brown and ¾ cup white), as brown is just a bit too caramelly for my taste.

Ingredients:
¾ cup butter (about 150 g)
¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup sugar
¼ cup cocoa
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 eggs (or 1 egg and 1 extra yolk)
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
2 cups flour
1½ cups chocolate chips (about 200-300 g) (I just chopped up a block of baking chocolate, so I had chocolate shards more than chocolate chips)

Instructions:
1. Melt the butter, then mix it with the sugars and the cocoa, blending so it gets airy (you can use a mixer).
2. Mix in the vanilla and eggs, until fluffy. Then mix the salt, baking soda, baking powder, and flour together, and then carefully blend the dry ingredients into the butter mixture.
3. Add the chocolate chips and mix until everything is just blender.
4. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a baking tray and bake at 165 C for about 15 minutes.
