Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (170 grams) semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) brown sugar
Flour and Dry Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet and Binding Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350F (175C) and prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Create a silky chocolate base by microwaving chocolate chips and butter in short bursts, stirring until achieving a glossy, uniform consistency.
- Whisk together granulated and brown sugars with eggs and vanilla, creating a rich, smooth liquid mixture.
- Fold the melted chocolate into the sugar mixture, ensuring complete integration of flavors and textures.
- Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to eliminate any potential lumps and ensure even distribution.
- Gently incorporate dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture, mixing until just combined to maintain a tender crumb.
- Scoop dough using a tablespoon, creating uniform cookie portions that will spread evenly during baking.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, watching for characteristic cracked surface indicating perfect doneness.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set their structure, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling.
Notes
- Achieve maximum fudginess by slightly underbaking the cookies, ensuring they remain soft and gooey in the center.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate chips for a richer, more intense chocolate flavor that elevates the entire dessert.
- Create gluten-free versions by substituting all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten-free baking blend for equally delicious results.
- Control cookie spread by chilling the dough for 15-20 minutes before baking, which helps maintain a more compact, uniform shape.
