Ingredients

• 145 grams All-purpose flour
• 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 150 grams Unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 120 grams Light brown sugar
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Fine sea salt
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 120 grams Bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
• 1 pinches Fleur de sel or flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and sea salt using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until the flour mixture is incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped bittersweet chocolate using a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 6

Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log approximately 1.5 inches (4 cm) in diameter. Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight, until firm.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 8

Unwrap the chilled dough logs and slice them into rounds about 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) thick. If the dough crumbles when cutting, gently press it back together.

Step 9

Arrange the cookie slices on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart. If desired, sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of fleur de sel or flaky sea salt.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 11-12 minutes. The cookies will not look fully set, but they will firm up as they cool.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Serve and enjoy your perfectly chocolatey Korova Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee!
