🧈 Ingredients You’ll Need
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Dark chocolate (chopped) | 8 oz (225 g) |
| Unsalted butter | 1/4 cup (60 g) |
| Granulated sugar | 3/4 cup |
| Brown sugar | 1/4 cup |
| Large eggs | 2 |
| Vanilla extract | 1 tsp |
| All-purpose flour | 1/2 cup (65 g) |
| Cocoa powder | 2 tbsp |
| Baking powder | 1/2 tsp |
| Salt | 1/4 tsp |
| Chocolate chips | 1/2 cup (optional) |
🍪 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Melt chocolate & butter: In a heatproof bowl, melt the chopped chocolate and butter together until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until pale and thick. Stir in vanilla.
- Combine: Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and whisk until glossy.
- Dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Fold it into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
- Add chocolate chips: Stir in extra chocolate chips for double chocolate goodness.
- Scoop & bake: Drop tablespoons of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9–11 minutes, until the tops are shiny and cracked.
- Cool & enjoy: Let cookies rest on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
💡 Pro Tips for the Perfect Texture
- For gooier centers, slightly underbake them — the centers will continue to cook as they cool.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the richest flavor.
- Chill the dough for 10 minutes before baking if it’s too soft.
🍨 Delicious Serving Ideas
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a brownie sundae vibe.
- Sandwich marshmallow fluff or Nutella between two cookies for an indulgent treat.
- Crush them over ice cream or yogurt for a chocolate crumble topping.
🥄 Storage & Make-Ahead Tips
These cookies store beautifully! Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for 10 seconds for that fresh-out-of-the-oven magic. ✨
❓ FAQ
Can I make these gluten-free? Yes! Swap the all-purpose flour for a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
Why are my cookies flat? If the batter is too warm, chill it before baking to help them hold shape.
Can I use milk chocolate? You can, but it will make the cookies sweeter and less rich. Dark chocolate gives the best balance.
🔥 Quick Tip:
For bakery-style crackly tops, whisk the sugar and eggs long enough to incorporate air before adding the chocolate mixture. That’s the secret to their shiny crust!
