Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup chocolate sprinkles

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. In a separate bowl, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Beat in egg and vanilla extract until combined.

5. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.

6. Fold in chocolate sprinkles gently.

7. Scoop dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on baking sheets.

8. Bake for 9–11 minutes until edges are set and centers are soft.

9. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Do not overbake to maintain a soft texture.

Use jimmies-style sprinkles for best results — nonpareils may bleed color.

Cookies can be frozen after baking for up to 2 months.
