Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder (not Dutch-process)
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- 2 cups assorted mix-ins (such as holiday M&Ms, toffee bits, shredded coconut, peanut butter chips and/or white chocolate chunks)
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into a large bowl. In a separate large bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, cocoa powder, eggs and vanilla until combined. Stir in the flour mixture with a wooden spoon until just incorporated, then stir in the chocolate chips and assorted mix-ins.
- Drop tablespoonfuls of dough about 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets; smooth the tops with damp fingers. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until puffed and set, about 12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.

Reviews
I thought this was a kind of dense cookie. I didn’t sift the dry ingredients and I also used a stand mixer instead of mixing by hand – don’t know if that had anything to do with it.
I can make them 1 day for a bake sale! I can dip in chocolate!
These were great-I love that I could use whatever odds and ends were left in my baking bin. The only thing is these make about 6 dozen cookies-not even close to 18. If you wanted 18 you’d have to use the huge 3T cookie scoop-even then you’d get at least 2 dozen.
