Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (200 g) semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsps (28 g) unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsps unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: Extra chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F (175C) and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Create a silky chocolate base by microwaving chocolate chips and butter together, stirring until achieving a glossy, uniform consistency. Allow mixture to cool slightly.
- Whisk granulated and brown sugars with eggs and vanilla in a separate bowl until thoroughly blended and slightly frothy.
- Pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture, stirring until completely integrated.
- Gently sift dry ingredients – flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt – into the wet mixture, folding carefully to maintain a light texture without overmixing.
- Using a cookie scoop, distribute dough onto prepared baking sheet, ensuring approximately 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.
- Place in preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, watching for set edges while maintaining a soft, fudgy center.
- Remove from oven and let cookies rest on baking sheet for 2-3 minutes to firm up, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to complete cooling process.
Notes
- Ensure chocolate and butter are melted smoothly to create a rich, consistent base for the cookies.
- Use room temperature eggs for better integration and smoother batter texture.
- Avoid overmixing the dry ingredients to prevent tough, dense cookies that lose their fudgy appeal.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free flour blend, maintaining the same measurement.
