Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate Can substitute with dark chocolate for a richer flavor or milk chocolate for a sweeter cookie.
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter Use salted butter if unsalted is unavailable, just reduce added salt.
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs Use room-temperature eggs for better incorporation.
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour Can be substituted with gluten-free flour or almond flour, but texture may vary.
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Essential for chocolate flavor.
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt Adjust if using salted butter.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for optimal baking results.
- In a heatproof bowl, melt together the semi-sweet chocolate and unsalted butter over simmering water or in the microwave until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until light and fluffy.
- Pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture. Stir gently until well combined, but avoid overmixing.
- Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Scoop portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but centers are still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm.
