Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams Dark chocolate (chopped)
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Brown sugar
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Eggs (large)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 30 grams Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 15 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 150 grams Dark chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and butter. Melt them together using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully combined. Let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined and starts to thicken, about 1-2 minutes.
Gradually stir the slightly cooled chocolate-butter mixture into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully incorporated.
Sift the cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until you have a smooth but thick batter.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips or chunks, evenly distributing them throughout the batter.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (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 still look slightly soft. Be careful not to overbake, as the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies once cooled, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
