Ingredients
 

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 2/3 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons milk or cream
  • ½ cup + 2 Tbsp. unsweetened natural cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

For Rolling Dough

  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Cream Butter and Sugars
    In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients
    Add the baking soda and salt, mixing just until incorporated. With the mixer on low speed, add the milk or cream, followed by the cocoa powder. Gradually mix in the flour until just combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Chill the Dough
    Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour, or up to 3 days.
  • Prepare for Baking
    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Shape the Cookies
    Scoop and roll the dough into balls, using about 1.5 tablespoons per cookie. Roll each ball in granulated sugar and then powdered sugar, then place on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart.
  • Bake
    Bake for 9-10 minutes. If the cookies don’t spread much, carefully bang the baking sheet on the counter to flatten them slightly. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve and Store
    Enjoy! Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
