Ingredients
- 6 tbsp (84 g) unsalted butter
- 8 oz (227 g) chopped dark chocolate (60% cocoa)
- 1/2 cup (63 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1/4 cup (20 g) Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup (100 g) white granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp (83 g) packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and chopped dark chocolate together. Let it cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract on high speed for at least 7 minutes until pale and slightly thickened.
- Add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the egg mixture and mix until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. The dough will resemble brownie batter.
- Using a small cookie scoop, drop dough portions onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 1½ inches apart.
- Bake for 11–12 minutes, or until the tops have cracked.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.
Notes
- Do not chill the dough before baking; bake immediately for best results.
- Use high-quality chocolate for enhanced flavor and texture.
- Add nuts, chocolate chips, or mint extract for variations.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 weeks.
- Microwave for about 10 seconds to reheat and enjoy warm.
