Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 cup dark chocolate, melted
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract and milk.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Divide the dough into two equal parts. In one part, mix in the melted dark chocolate using a rubber spatula until well incorporated.

Step 7

Take a tablespoon of each dough variant and roll them together to form a ball, achieving a marbled effect.

Step 8

Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops appear dry.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and immediately place a few semi-sweet chocolate chips on top of each cookie, pressing gently. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve the cookies fresh, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
