Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk powder
3/4 cup dark chocolate chunks

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and milk powder.
In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated.
Fold in the dark chocolate chunks evenly throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly crisp but the centers remain soft.
Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
