Ingredients
Scale
Main Chocolate Ingredients:
- 1 cup (175 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons (14 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
Binding and Sweetening Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2/3 cup (135 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Transform chocolate chips and butter into a silky smooth mixture by microwaving in brief intervals, stirring between each burst. Allow the glossy blend to cool slightly and develop depth.
- Vigorously whip eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture transforms into a thick, pale canvas, creating a luxurious base. Introduce vanilla extract and the tepid chocolate blend, stirring until harmoniously integrated.
- Sift the dry ingredients – flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt – creating a light, aerated powder. Gently incorporate this powdery mixture into the wet ingredients, folding with minimal disruption to maintain a delicate texture.
- Seal the dough and nestle in the refrigerator, allowing it to rest and firm up for 30-60 minutes. This chilling period enables the flavors to meld and the dough to stabilize.
- Activate the oven to 350°F (175°C), crafting a warm environment. Dress baking sheets in parchment paper, creating a non-stick stage for the cookies.
- Portion the chilled dough into tablespoon-sized mounds, strategically placing them two inches apart. Slide the sheet into the heated oven, transforming the raw dough into crackled, glossy delicacies within 8-10 minutes. Aim for shiny exteriors with tender, yielding centers.
- Permit the cookies to rest on the baking sheet, allowing them to set and stabilize for five minutes. Transition them to a wire rack, completing their cooling journey and preparing them for indulgence.
Notes
- Ensure chocolate is melted gently to prevent burning, stirring frequently during microwave intervals for smooth consistency.
- Whisk eggs and sugar thoroughly until mixture becomes pale and thick, creating a light, airy texture for better cookie structure.
- Refrigerating dough helps develop deeper flavors and prevents cookies from spreading too much during baking.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate for richer, more intense chocolate flavor in the final cookies.
