Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups (240 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (100 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup (200 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Sugars:
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (220 grams) brown sugar
Flavor and Leavening:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the baking workspace by lining sheets with parchment paper and heating the oven to 350F (180C).
- Create a smooth base by whisking melted butter with granulated and brown sugars until fully incorporated.
- Introduce eggs and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly to achieve a uniform consistency.
- Separately combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, ensuring even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Carefully integrate dry mixture into wet ingredients, stirring minimally to prevent overmixing.
- Gently incorporate chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, maintaining adequate spacing between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, watching for set edges while maintaining soft centers.
- Let cookies rest on baking sheets for 5 minutes to stabilize, then transfer to wire rack for complete cooling.
Notes
- Experiment with different chocolate chip varieties like dark, milk, or white chocolate to customize the flavor profile.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with almond or coconut flour and use gluten-free baking powder.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies.
- Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking to enhance the chocolate’s richness and create a gourmet touch.
