Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (25g) cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 7 oz (200g) dark chocolate (60-70%), coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
- 3/4 cup (150g) light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) or Gas Mark 4. Line two large baking trays with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth. Set aside to cool.
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the eggs and sugar together until pale, fluffy, and tripled in volume (about 5 minutes).
- Add the melted chocolate mixture and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, whisking until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in the dry ingredients, mixing until the batter is smooth. It will be very runny.
- Refrigerate the batter for 15 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly until it resembles a thick brownie batter.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, evenly portion the batter onto the prepared baking trays. (Tip: Scooping all the dough at once onto the trays ensures that each cookie will have a shiny, crinkly top.)
- Bake for 10-12 minutes (baking one tray at a time) or until the tops are shiny, cracked, and the cookies have domed slightly.
- Let the cookies cool on the trays for 15-20 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will be very soft at first but will firm up as they cool.
Notes
- Be sure to refrigerate the dough for the suggested time to achieve the perfect texture.
- These cookies are best when they’re slightly underbaked, so they stay soft and fudgy inside.
- You can use milk chocolate for a sweeter taste, or add chopped nuts for a crunchy contrast.
