Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups flour

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°.

  • Scrape the sides of the bowl and then add in the eggs and vanilla. Mix until combined.
  • Add the flour, cocoa, soda, salt and cornstarch and mix together. Start mixing slowly, gaining speed as the flour incorporates. Mix until the dough has come together.
