✅ Ingredients:
-
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
-
1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (melted)
-
3/4 cup granulated sugar
-
1/4 cup brown sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
Extra chocolate chips for topping (optional)
-
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Melt the butter and chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the butter and chocolate chips together until smooth. Let cool for 5 minutes.
3. Mix the sugars and eggs:
In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and slightly frothy.
4. Combine and stir:
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture and stir to combine.
5. Add dry ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add this to the wet ingredients and stir until a thick, shiny dough forms.
6. Scoop and top:
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Press a few extra chocolate chips on top of each cookie for that bakery-style look.
7. Bake:
Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the tops are shiny and cracked. The centers should still look slightly soft.
8. Cool before serving:
Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Best Results:
-
For extra fudginess, refrigerate the dough for 15–30 minutes before baking.
-
Don’t overbake—the cookies continue to set as they cool.
-
Use good-quality cocoa powder and chocolate for rich flavor.
