Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup natural cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 7 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
  • vanilla ice cream (or ice cream of any variety, for serving)
  • 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  • In a medium size bowl whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer combine the sugar and cream cheese. Beat on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg, oil, and vanilla. Mix until smooth. 
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. 
  • Use a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop and scoop out dough. Place on the cookie sheet leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Using the palm of your hand or a flat head spatula gently press down on each cookie.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes or until set. Be careful not to over bake! 
  • Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
