Ingredients
120 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
60 g unsalted butter
100 g granulated sugar
50 g brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
65 g all-purpose flour
20 g cocoa powder
0.5 tsp baking powder
0.25 tsp salt
100 g chocolate chips or chunks (extra for folding)
Instructions
1. In a heatproof bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter together until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
2. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until pale and thick.
3. Slowly pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar blend, stirring constantly.
4. Add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir gently until no dry streaks remain. Fold in the extra chocolate chips or chunks.
5. Let the dough rest for 20–30 minutes to firm up slightly.
6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. Scoop dough into small mounds on the baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes.
8. Let cookies cool on the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Let the melted chocolate cool before combining with the egg mixture to prevent curdling.
Don’t overbake! Cookies should be set at the edges but soft in the center.
For a flavor twist, add a pinch of espresso powder to the batter.
