Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, divided
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown 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
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter with 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and creamy.
-
Pour in the melted chocolate mixture and stir until well combined.
-
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
-
Fold in the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
-
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the tops are crackly and the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
-
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra fudgy cookies, don’t overbake—take them out when the centers still look slightly soft.
- Chill the dough for 15–30 minutes if it feels too sticky to scoop.
- Try adding a pinch of espresso powder to intensify the chocolate flavor.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
