I had a little bit of chocolate chips left, so I decided to make this recipe.

Steps

1 1/2 hours

1

Place the softened butter in a mixing bowl and beat until slightly fluffy. Add both types of sugar and beat together for about 3-4 minutes. We used a hand mixer; if using a whisk, it might take a bit longer.
2

Add the egg and vanilla extract. If using food coloring, add it now. Beat until combined. If you want a deeper color, add more after mixing the egg with the previous ingredients.
3

Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Use a spatula to mix until no flour lumps remain.
4

Add the chocolate chips and mix again. If adding almonds or cashews, do so now and mix until combined.
5

Chill for at least 1 hour to cool the cookies (in the picture, we chilled them in the fridge for about 20 hours because we finished mixing at night and baked them the next day).
6

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) for about 10 minutes, then bake for 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies and your oven. We baked ours for 12 minutes.
7

Once done, let them cool on a rack before storing them in a container.
