Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 8 ounces dark chocolate chips
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 4 ounces dark chocolate chunks
• 0.5 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter until it is fully liquefied.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from heat and add the 8 ounces of dark chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar.

Step 5

Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the sugars and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined.

Step 6

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 7

In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.

Step 8

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.

Step 9

Fold in the dark chocolate chunks using a spatula.

Step 10

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 11

Sprinkle a small pinch of coarse sea salt on top of each cookie.

Step 12

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the centers still look slightly soft.

Step 13

Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
