Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Create Vanilla and Chocolate Doughs: Divide the cookie dough evenly into two bowls. Add the cocoa powder mixture to one portion to make the chocolate dough, and leave the other plain as the vanilla dough.
- Marble the Doughs: On a clean surface, take spoonfuls of vanilla and chocolate dough and gently swirl them together, being careful not to overmix, to create a marbled effect. Form the marbled dough into balls.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently press semisweet chocolate chips into the dough balls, ensuring even distribution for bursts of chocolate in every bite.
- Bake the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the dough balls on a lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your autumn-inspired marbled chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite tea.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips.
- Do not overmix the marble dough to maintain distinct vanilla and chocolate swirls.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help prevent spreading and preserve the marbled look.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
