- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the cookie dough.
- Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.
