Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Melt them in the microwave in 20-30 second increments, stirring well after each session, until completely smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Add the slightly cooled chocolate-butter mixture to the sugar-egg mixture. Stir until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop small mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches (5 cm) apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underbaked. Be careful not to overbake to ensure a fudgy texture.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your easy fudgy cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
