Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookies:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (divided)
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare baking sheets: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter, 1 cup of the chocolate chips, and the unsweetened chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
- Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the cooled chocolate mixture. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Let the dough rest for 10–15 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Bake the cookies: Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the tops are crackly but the centers are still soft. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra texture, add chopped walnuts or pecans to the dough.
- These cookies freeze well—store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
