Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (25g) cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 7 oz (200g) dark chocolate (60–70% cocoa), chopped
- ¼ cup (56g) unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- ¾ cup (150g) light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep – Set your oven to 350°F (180°C, Gas Mark 4) and line two large baking trays with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix Dry Ingredients – In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Melt Chocolate & Butter – In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and butter in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
- Whip Eggs & Sugar – Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs and sugar for about 5 minutes until pale, fluffy, and tripled in volume.
- Combine Ingredients – Gently whisk in the melted chocolate mixture and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Fold in Dry Ingredients – Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until smooth. The batter will be quite runny at this stage.
- Chill the Batter – Refrigerate the mixture for 15 minutes until it thickens slightly, resembling a thick brownie batter.
- Scoop & Bake – Using a medium cookie scoop, portion out the batter onto the prepared baking trays. (Pro Tip: Scooping all the dough at once ensures every cookie gets that beautiful crinkled top!)
- Bake to Perfection – Bake one tray at a time for 10–12 minutes until the tops are shiny, cracked, and slightly domed.
- Cool & Enjoy – Let the cookies cool on the tray for 15–20 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. They’ll be very soft at first but will firm up as they cool.
