Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces semi sweet chocolate, chopped or chips
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a heat safe bowl, melt the chocolate and butter together until smooth and glossy, then let cool slightly.
  3. Whisk the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate until thick and shiny.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture just until combined.
  7. Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using.
  8. Scoop the batter into 1 1/2 tablespoon portions and place a few inches apart on the baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the tops are crackly and the edges are set but centers are soft.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Notes

Do not overbake these cookies to keep the centers fudgy. Using room temperature eggs and slightly warm chocolate helps create the signature crackly tops.
