Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 7 ounces (200 grams) dark chocolate (60-70%)
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (56 grams) unsalted butter
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the kitchen environment by heating the oven to 180°C and lining baking trays with parchment paper, creating a perfect staging area for delectable chocolate treats.
- Combine dry ingredients in a small bowl, whisking flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into a uniform chocolate-infused mixture that will provide structural integrity to the cookies.
- Create a luxurious chocolate base by melting dark chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring at 30-second intervals until achieving a silky, glossy consistency that promises intense flavor.
- Transform eggs and light brown sugar into a voluminous, pale mixture using an electric mixer, whipping for approximately 5 minutes to develop a light, airy texture that will contribute to the cookies’ signature crinkly surface.
- Incorporate the melted chocolate and vanilla extract into the egg mixture, blending thoroughly to create a rich, aromatic foundation that promises deep chocolate notes.
- Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, creating a slightly runny batter that will ultimately yield wonderfully fudgy cookies with a glossy exterior.
- Chill the batter for 15 minutes, allowing it to slightly firm up and ensuring the cookies will maintain their distinctive shape during baking.
- Distribute the batter onto prepared trays using a cookie scoop, ensuring uniform sizing and optimal spacing for even baking and beautiful presentation.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for the characteristic shiny, cracked top and slight doming that signals perfect doneness, filling the kitchen with an irresistible chocolate aroma.
- Allow cookies to rest on baking trays for 15-20 minutes, giving them time to firm up before transferring to a wire rack for complete cooling, ensuring the perfect fudgy texture.
Notes
- Ensure chocolate melts smoothly by chopping it into uniform small pieces, preventing uneven melting and potential burning.
- Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation and volume when beating with sugar, creating that signature airy texture.
- Refrigerate batter for exactly 15 minutes to achieve perfect cookie consistency – too long will make dough too firm, too short will spread cookies too thin.
- For gluten-free variation, substitute wheat flour with almond flour or gluten-free blend, maintaining similar rich chocolate flavor and fudgy texture.
