Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped or chips
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup chocolate chips or chunks (optional, for folding or topping) For extra chocolate pockets

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Melt the chocolate and butter in a heat-safe bowl until smooth and glossy. Let it cool slightly; it should be warm, not hot.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 3–5 minutes until foamy and lighter in color.
  3. Stir the slightly cooled chocolate-butter mixture into the egg mixture, then mix in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold into the chocolate mixture until no dry streaks remain.
  5. Optional: Chill the batter in the fridge for 20–30 minutes for thicker cookies.
Baking
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Scoop batter onto the baking sheets, leaving space between each mound.
  3. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges look set and the tops are crackly, but the centers look slightly soft.
  4. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, ensure the egg-and-sugar mixture is whisked properly for a shiny top. Cool the melted chocolate slightly before mixing to maintain airiness.
