Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup high-quality dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 1/2 cup chopped nuts, 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Melt the chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stir until smooth.
- In a large bowl, beat the sugars, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the sugar mixture, beating until combined.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold this into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
- If using, fold in chocolate chips and nuts.
- Drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are crackly and the edges are set.
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved in the egg mixture to achieve a crackly top.
- Avoid over-baking to maintain fudgy centers.
- If the dough is too runny, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking.
