Ingredients

  • 8 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, cubed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips, optional

Instructions

  • Place the chopped chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave and stir in 30-second intervals until melted. Set aside to cool before adding to the egg mixture. You can also use a double boiler for this step.
  • Add the eggs, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to a large mixing bowl or stand mixer. Beat on a low speed until combined. Then increase the speed to medium and beat for an additional 4-5 minutes. The mixture should be pale and airy. Don’t miss this step or your cookies won’t be shiny or cracked.
  • Mix in the chocolate mixture and vanilla extract. Beat on a low speed until combined.
  • Whisk the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Add to the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula just until no lumps of flour remain.
  • Gently fold in the chocolate chips. Cover and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Scoop the dough and roll it into 2-tablespoon-sized balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between them. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the top cracks.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool slightly. Then, transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
