Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 130 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and 75 grams of the chocolate chips in 20-second increments, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the melted chocolate-butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl and beat until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the remaining chocolate chips and chopped walnuts with a spatula.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
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.
Serve warm for gooey centers or at room temperature for a chewier texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
