Ingredients
- 227 grams Bittersweet chocolate (chopped, or chips)
- 28 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar (lightly packed)
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 20 grams Cocoa powder (unsweetened and sifted)
- 14 grams Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
Melt the bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, cornstarch, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and thick, about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Slowly mix the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the sugar-egg mixture until fully incorporated.
Step 6
Add the dry ingredients (cocoa powder mixture) to the wet ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky.
Step 7
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop 2-tablespoon portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are shiny and cracked but the centers are still soft.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy these cookies slightly warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
