Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips plus extra for topping
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Optional:
- ½ teaspoon espresso powder enhances chocolate flavor
- Sea salt flakes for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the chocolate and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between. Set aside to cool.
- Whisk the eggs and sugars (both white and brown) in a mixing bowl until the mixture is thick, pale, and creamy. This helps give the cookies their chewy texture.
- Add the vanilla and the cooled melted chocolate mixture to the eggs and sugar. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Sift in the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and optional espresso powder. Gently fold together until a thick, shiny batter forms.
- Chill the batter in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to firm up.
- Scoop the dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop onto the lined baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Top each with extra chocolate chips if desired.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers still look soft.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
