Ingredients
  

Cookie Batter
  • 8 oz dark chocolate chopped
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 cup cocoa powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking sheets
  • Wire rack
  • Double boiler or microwave

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Melt chopped chocolate and butter together in double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth. Cool slightly.
  3. In large bowl, whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
  4. Slowly add melted chocolate mixture to sugar mixture, whisking constantly to prevent eggs from cooking.
  5. In separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  6. Fold dry ingredients into chocolate mixture until just combined. Don't overmix.
  7. Stir in chocolate chips and any optional add-ins.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake 10-12 minutes until tops are set and cracked but centers look slightly underbaked.
  10. Cool on baking sheet 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack.

Notes

Don't overbake - cookies should look slightly underdone when removed from oven. Store in airtight container up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 months.
