Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 four ounce bars (226g) semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup (94g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1/4 cup (21g) natural unsweetened or dutch-process cocoa powder
1 teaspoon espresso powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup (5 Tablespoons; 72g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
3/4 cup (150g) packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
optional: 3/4 cup (135g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or use the microwave. Microwave in 20 second increments, stirring after each until completely melted. Set aside to slightly cool (so it doesn't melt the butter or cook the eggs).
  • Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and beat on high speed for 2 full minutes. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl, then beat on high for 1 more minute. Pour in the slightly cooled melted chocolate and mix on medium-high speed for 2 full minutes.
  • Pour in the the dry ingredients and beat on low speed until combined. Finally, beat in the chocolate chips.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. As the oven preheats, continue to step 6.
  • Cover and chill the dough in the refrigerator for just 20 minutes as the oven preheats. This quick chill time helps slightly solidify the chocolate and butter in the dough, which gives the cookies a nice spread (not over-spread). Chilling for longer creates thicker cookies where, in some cases, they may not spread at all. If chilling for longer than 20 minutes, allow the dough to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before rolling and baking.
  • Roll or scoop the dough into balls, 1.5 Tablespoons of dough each. I recommend a medium cookie scoop. Place 3 inches apart on the baking sheets and bake for 12-13 minutes or until the edges appear set. (The centers will be quite soft, but will set up as the cookies cool.)
  • Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Cookies stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 1 week.

  • If you want a gooey center, remove the cookies from the oven just before they are fully set.
  • For a fudgy cookie, use more butter and chocolate.
  • For a more cake-like cookie, use more flour.
  • To add flavor, try adding nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the batter by hand. Just be sure to mix it until it is well combined.
  • Drop the batter by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet. Do not spread the batter.
  • Bake the cookies until they are set around the edges and the tops are no longer shiny. The centers of the cookies should still be slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
