These cookies are a delightful treat, offering a rich chocolate flavor and a soft, chewy texture.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Mix until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
Sifting helps to evenly distribute the baking powder and remove lumps.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
Do not overmix to maintain a tender cookie texture.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on the sheet helps the cookies set properly.
