Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 80 grams light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 150 grams dark chocolate chunks or chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Chop 200 grams of dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it with the unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the sugar mixture, mixing until smooth and fully incorporated.
On low speed, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in batches, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chunks or chips using a spatula, evenly distributing them throughout the dough.
Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still appear slightly soft. Be careful not to overbake as they will firm up as they cool.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve immediately for a gooey chocolate experience or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
