Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 60 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 90 grams all-purpose flour
- 20 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 50 grams powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and use a hand or stand mixer to beat the mixture on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, and mix on low speed until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three additions, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball generously in the powdered sugar, ensuring an even coating.
Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The cookies should be soft in the center and have a crackled surface.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
