Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or dark)
- Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl or a double boiler, melt the butter and chopped unsweetened chocolate together. Stir until smooth and fully combined. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted chocolate mixture and granulated sugar until well combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft and gooey. Do not overbake!
- Immediately after removing from the oven, sprinkle each warm cookie with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
