Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 7 ounces (200 grams) 60-70% dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (56 grams) unsalted butter
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F and prepare two large baking trays with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl, whisking thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Melt chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring between each interval until smooth and fully integrated.
- Whip eggs and sugar using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture becomes pale, fluffy, and significantly increased in volume, approximately 5 minutes.
- Incorporate melted chocolate and vanilla into the egg mixture, gently whisking until completely blended.
- Carefully fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a uniform, slightly runny batter forms.
- Chill the batter in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, allowing it to thicken and develop a consistency similar to dense brownie mix.
- Drop batter onto prepared trays using a medium cookie scoop, ensuring even spacing between cookies.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating trays midway through cooking, until cookies display a shiny, cracked surface with a slightly domed appearance.
- Allow cookies to rest on baking trays for 15-20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack for complete cooling.
Notes
- Chill the batter to achieve that perfect fudgy texture, preventing overly thin cookies that spread too much during baking.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for intense flavor and rich, decadent brownie-like consistency.
- Avoid overmixing the batter when folding dry ingredients to maintain a tender, soft cookie structure.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend to accommodate different dietary needs.
