Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (room temperature)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix-ins
- 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen; use raspberries, blueberries, or chopped strawberries)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (semisweet or dark)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with the granulated and brown sugars until light and smooth (about 2-3 minutes with a hand mixer).
- Beat in the egg and vanilla until incorporated and glossy.
Combining
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the mixed berries and chocolate chips gently.
- Drop tablespoon-sized scoops onto the prepared sheet about 2 inches apart.
Baking
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set and centers look just set but not dry.
- Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
Notes
These cookies store well for up to 3 days in an airtight container. For softer cookies, add a slice of bread to the container.
