Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
  2. Using a double boiler or microwave, gently melt the chopped semi-sweet chocolate and butter together until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until thick and pale-colored, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture while continuing to beat. Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the chocolate batter, mixing just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving chewy cookies!
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers are still soft.
  8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. The centers will firm up as they cool.

Notes

Don't overbake - cookies continue to set as they cool. Use quality chocolate for best flavor. Chill dough prevents spreading for chewier cookies. Measure flour correctly by spooning into cups. Room temperature eggs incorporate better.
