Super-Chunky Cookies

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 sticks unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
• 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder (not Dutch-process)
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips

1. 2 cups assorted mix-ins (such as holiday M&Ms, toffee bits, shredded coconut, peanut butter chips and/or white chocolate chunks)
2. Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
3. Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into a large bowl.
4. In a separate large bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, cocoa powder, eggs and vanilla until combined.
5. Stir in the flour mixture with a wooden spoon until just incorporated, then stir in the chocolate chips and assorted mix-ins.
6. Drop tablespoonfuls of dough about 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets; smooth the tops with damp fingers.
7. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until puffed and set, about 12 minutes.
8. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
