⅓ cup salted butter softened
¼ cup shortening
½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
½ cup (110 grams) packed, light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups (150 grams) all-purpose flour spoon into measuring cups and level with the back of a knife
½ cup (40 grams) cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup (128 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips melted
½ cup (85 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips for batter
¼ cup (43 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips melted for drizzle (optional)
1 tablespoon powdered sugar optional

Preheat oven to 350˚F.
Use a mixer to combine the butter and shortening.
Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Beat for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract for 1-2 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir into the batter until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Stir in the melted semi-sweet chocolate.
Mix in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Scoop 9 balls of cookie dough with a #40 dough scoop (about 2 tablespoons) onto a parchment-covered cookie sheet with at least two inches of space between balls of dough.
Bake at 350˚F for 8-10 minutes.
Repeat with remaining dough, allowing cookie sheets to cool between batches.
Allow the cookies to cool. Drizzle with melted semi-sweet chocolate chips or dust with powdered sugar.

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to four weeks.
