Ingredients
- 200 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 125 g unsalted butter, cubed
- 125 g caster sugar
- 90 g light brown sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 130 g all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
- Melt chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Stir until smooth, then let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat 125 g caster sugar, 90 g light brown sugar, 2 eggs, and 1 tsp vanilla for 5 minutes until pale and glossy.
- Gradually mix melted chocolate into the egg mixture until fully incorporated.
- Sift together 130 g flour, 3 tbsp cocoa powder, 1 tsp baking powder, and ¼ tsp salt.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently until just combined.
- Use a cookie scoop to drop batter onto trays, leaving 2 inches between cookies. Optional: sprinkle flaked sea salt on top.
- Bake for 12 minutes. Slightly underbake for extra fudgy centers, or 1–2 minutes longer for firmer cookies.
- Cool on tray 20 mins, then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy warm with milk, coffee, or as cookie sandwiches
Notes
- Slightly underbake cookies for soft, fudgy centers.
- Chill dough for 10–15 minutes to prevent spreading.
- Optional: Add nuts, chocolate chips, or a sprinkle of sea salt for extra flavor.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
