Description
Soft, fudgy cookies with a shiny crackly top and melty chocolate centers. Thick and chewy, these cookies offer the decadence of bite-sized brownies in every treat.
Ingredients
4 oz (112 g) bittersweet chocolate, chopped
¼ cup (56 g) unsalted butter
½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
½ cup (110 g) packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 tbsp vanilla extract
⅔ cup (80 g) all-purpose flour
¼ cup (25 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking powder
½ cup (90 g) semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Melt chocolate: Combine chopped chocolate and butter in a microwave‑safe bowl. Heat in 20‑second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth (about 2 minutes total).
-
Beat sugar and eggs: In a large bowl, beat granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs on medium speed until light and frothy.
-
Add chocolate mixture: Mix in melted chocolate and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
-
Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gently fold dry mixture into wet ingredients until just combined.
-
Mix in chips: Fold in chocolate chips evenly. Cover dough and chill for 30 minutes to help control spreading.
-
Preheat oven: Set oven to 350°F (177°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Shape and bake: Scoop dough into 2‑tablespoon balls, spacing them 3 inches apart. Bake 8–10 minutes until tops are shiny and slightly cracked.
-
Cool: Let cookies cool completely on baking sheets they will firm up as they cool.
Notes
Use high-quality bittersweet chocolate for best flavor.
Whip eggs and sugars well for glossy, crackled tops.
Chill dough before baking for thick, chewy cookies.
Avoid overbaking to keep centers fudgy.
Store airtight at room temperature up to 5 days.
