Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup black cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, black cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
- Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, until edges are set but centers look slightly underbaked.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes

- Chill dough for thicker cookies.
- Sprinkle flaky salt on top before baking for added flavor.
