Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter (Room temperature)
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar (Dark brown sugar recommended)
  • 1 cup White Sugar (Can substitute with coconut sugar)
  • 1 large Egg (Can substitute with a flax egg)
  • 1 teaspoon Rum Extract (Vanilla extract can be used if unavailable)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Important for flavor)

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • ¾ cup Cocoa Powder (Dutch-processed for milder taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt (Fine variety for even distribution)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder (Ensure it’s fresh)

Chocolate Chips

  • 1 cup White Chocolate Chips (Can substitute with milk chocolate)
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (Dark chocolate chips for richer flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies at the optimal temperature.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the room temperature unsalted butter, dark brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, ensuring a light texture for the cookies.
  3. Add Eggs and Extracts: Beat in the large egg, rum extract, and vanilla extract until all ingredients are well combined, adding moisture and enhanced flavor to the dough.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, Dutch-processed cocoa powder, baking powder, and fine salt to evenly distribute the leavening and cocoa flavors.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently to form a consistent dough without overmixing.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the white chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips carefully to maintain an even distribution throughout the dough.
  7. Shape Cookies: Roll the dough into small balls and place them spaced evenly on a cookie sheet to allow for spreading during baking.
  8. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, aiming for them to appear slightly under-baked to retain a chewy texture.
  9. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking tray for one minute to set before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, preventing breakage and ensuring optimal texture.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute rum extract with vanilla extract if unavailable.
  • You can use flax egg as a vegan substitute for the egg.
  • Use Dutch-processed cocoa powder for a mellower chocolate taste.
  • Allow cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before moving to a wire rack to prevent crumbling.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to one week.
