Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mats
  • Cookie scoop or tablespoon
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips optional, for extra chocolatey goodness

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Melt the Chocolate and Butter:
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Mix the Sugars and Eggs:
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients:
  • Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture to the sugar and egg mixture, stirring constantly until fully combined.
  • Add Dry Ingredients:
  • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Optional Extra Chocolate:
  • If desired, fold in the mini chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey boost.
  • Scoop the Dough:
  • Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake the Cookies:
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are set and slightly crackly. The centers should still be soft and fudgy.
  • Cool the Cookies:
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
