Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups butter 🧈
- 2 cups sugar 🍚
- 2 eggs 🥚
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 🌿
- 2 cups all-purpose flour 🌾
- 3/4 cup Hershey’s baking cocoa 🍫
- 1 teaspoon baking soda 🥄
- 1/2 teaspoon salt 🧂
Instructions:
-
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect chewy texture in your cookies.
-
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Once the butter and sugar are well combined, add the eggs and vanilla extract. Blend everything together until smooth and creamy, ensuring that the eggs are fully incorporated into the mixture.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, Hershey’s baking cocoa, baking soda, and salt. This dry ingredient mixture will provide the foundation of flavor and texture for your cookies.
-
Blend into Creamed Mixture: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Mix until all the ingredients are fully combined, forming a rich chocolatey dough that’s ready to be transformed into cookies.
-
Drop onto Cookie Sheet: Using a teaspoon, drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Make sure to space them apart to allow room for spreading during baking.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and bake the cookies for approximately 10 minutes. Be cautious not to overbake them; the cookies should be soft when removed from the oven. They will continue to bake slightly on the cookie sheet as they cool.
-
Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for about a minute to set, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, indulge in the irresistible chewy chocolatey goodness of Hershey’s Chewy Chocolate Cookies!
