Instructions:

  1. Beat the softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until the mixture is pale and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
  2. Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until the batter is smooth and emulsified.
  3. Sift together the flour, Dutch-processed cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture on low speed, mixing only until the flour streaks disappear.
  5. Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop the dough into balls (approximately 2 tablespoons each) and place them on a tray.
  7. Chill the dough balls in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  8. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  9. Bake for 9–11 minutes and remove from the oven when the edges are set.
