Double Chocolate Cookies

Recipe adapted from Food Network July/August 2021 and makes about 18 cookies.
Ingredients: 

• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1-1/4 sticks (10 tablespoons) butter, softened
• 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
• Optional chopped nuts

Directions: 

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. 
• Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. 
• Beat in the egg and vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture at low speed. Stir in the white chocolate chips.
• Chill the dough for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. 
• Arrange balls of dough, about 2 heaping tablespoons each, about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
• Bake until set around the edges, about 10-11 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes on the pans, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
