Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 340 grams Semisweet chocolate chips
- 57 grams Unsalted butter
- 65 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 170 grams Dark chocolate chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper if making cookies. For bars, grease and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy lifting.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the eggs and granulated sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture. Stir until well combined.
Gradually fold in the dry ingredients using a spatula, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chunks.
For cookies: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For bars: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look soft. For bars, bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. For bars, let cool completely in the pan before lifting out and cutting into squares.
Serve and enjoy these outrageously chocolatey treats! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
