Ingredients:

• 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
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions:

Warm the oven up to 350F 175C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet

Mix the cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and flour together in a bowl using a whisk

Melt the butter and mix it with the white sugar and brown sugar in a different large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy

Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix them in well

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones, mixing only until everything is well combined

Add the chocolate chips and chopped nuts and mix them in

Take tablespoon-sized chunks of dough and roll them into balls

Take them off the baking sheet and put them on it, leaving some space between each one

Use your fingers to gently flatten each ball of dough to make a cookie shape

Put it in an oven that has already been heated for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the middle is still a little soft

After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way
