Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 340 grams semisweet chocolate chips
- 85 grams unsalted butter
- 60 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 50 grams powdered sugar
Instructions
Melt the semisweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter together in a heatproof bowl placed over a pot of simmering water (double boiler). Stir frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the granulated sugar and eggs together on medium speed using a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Add the pure vanilla extract and the melted chocolate mixture to the sugar and egg mixture. Mix until fully combined.
Gradually stir in the dry ingredients from the medium bowl until just incorporated. The dough will be thick and sticky.
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 2-3 hours, or until firm enough to handle.
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop the chilled dough using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop and roll into 1-inch balls using your hands.
Roll each dough ball generously in powdered sugar before placing it onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
