Ingredients
Scale
- 200 g (7 oz) dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa, chopped)
- 100 g (½ cup) chocolate chips or chunks
- 20 g (¼ cup) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 150 g (¾ cup) granulated sugar
- 50 g (¼ cup) brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 50 g (¼ cup) unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 65 g (½ cup) all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Preheat oven to 180C (350F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Chocolate Melting: Create a silky chocolate base by melting chocolate and butter using a double boiler or microwave, stirring intermittently to achieve a uniform consistency.
- Egg Emulsion: Whip sugar and eggs together until the mixture transforms into a light, voluminous blend with a pale, creamy appearance.
- Ingredient Integration: Gently fold the tepid chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, maintaining a smooth, homogeneous texture.
- Dry Ingredient Incorporation: Sift flour, cocoa powder, and salt together, then delicately fold into the chocolate mixture using sweeping motions to preserve the batter’s airiness.
- Flavor Enhancement: Introduce vanilla extract and mix thoroughly to elevate the cookie’s aromatic complexity.
- Portioning and Baking: Distribute rounded tablespoons of batter onto the prepared sheet, allowing space between cookies. Bake for 10-12 minutes until surfaces develop slight cracks and centers remain soft.
- Cooling Process: Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet momentarily before transferring to a wire rack for complete cooling and setting.
Notes
- Manage Chocolate Melting: Use low, gentle heat to prevent burning or seizing, which can ruin texture and flavor.
- Control Egg Whisking: Whip sugar and eggs until they become pale and fluffy, creating a light, airy base that enhances cookie structure.
- Preserve Batter Airiness: Fold dry ingredients gently to maintain the delicate air bubbles, ensuring a soft, tender cookie texture.
- Watch Baking Time Carefully: Remove cookies when edges are slightly cracked but centers remain soft, preventing over-baking and maintaining a fudgy consistency.
