Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams bittersweet chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 57 grams unsalted butter
- 70 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 170 grams bittersweet chocolate chips
- 1 pinch optional sea salt flakes for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter together, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together using a hand or stand mixer at medium-high speed until the mixture becomes pale and thick, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, mixing until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
Using a spatula, fold in the bittersweet chocolate chips to evenly distribute throughout the dough.
Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Remove from the oven and, if desired, lightly sprinkle sea salt flakes on top of each cookie while they are still warm.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy the rich, bittersweet decadence of these chocolate-packed cookies!
