Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate (chopped or chips)
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup milk chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (or using a microwave in short bursts), melt the bittersweet chocolate and butter together. Stir until smooth, then let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment to beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted chocolate mixture until combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing as this will affect the texture of the cookies.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips (if using) using a spatula.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded dollops of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft. Do not overbake.
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 or at room temperature, and enjoy the ultimate chocolate indulgence!
