Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Cookie Scoop
  • Cooling Rack

Ingredients
 

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1 stick
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chopped or chips
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp espresso powder optional, enhances chocolate flavor

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Mix-Ins

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks dark, milk, or semi-sweet

Instructions
 

  • In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and chocolate together in the microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring between each interval, or use a double boiler.
  • Let the melted chocolate mixture cool for 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together for 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Slowly mix in the melted chocolate and butter mixture, followed by the vanilla extract and espresso powder (if using).
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Gently fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
  • Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes if it appears too loose to scoop.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Scoop about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the tops look set and slightly crackly, but the centers remain soft.
  • Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding flaky sea salt on top before baking. You can also experiment with mix-ins like chopped nuts or white chocolate chips.
