Ingredients
Scale
Main Chocolate Ingredients:
- 1 cup melted chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Sugars and Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring even surface coverage.
- Melt chocolate and butter together, creating a glossy and smooth mixture.
- Whisk granulated and brown sugars into the melted chocolate mixture until thoroughly incorporated and silky.
- Gently fold eggs and vanilla extract into the chocolate base, blending until the mixture appears uniform and glossy.
- Carefully sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt directly into the wet ingredients, folding gently to prevent overmixing.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop batter onto the prepared sheet, spacing cookies approximately 2 inches apart.
- Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top of each cookie for extra decadence.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for set edges and slightly soft centers.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes to firm up.
- Transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack, letting them cool completely before serving to ensure optimal texture.
Notes
- Ensure butter and chocolate are melted smoothly to create a rich, uniform base for the cookies.
- Use room temperature eggs to help them incorporate more evenly into the chocolate mixture.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough, dense cookies; fold gently until ingredients are just combined.
- Check cookies at 10 minutes to maintain a fudgy, gooey center – they’ll continue setting as they cool.
