Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed for darker color)
- 3/4 cup (90g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (85g) chocolate chips or chunks (dark or semi-sweet)
- 1-2 tablespoons flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a medium heatproof bowl, melt the butter. Add the granulated sugar and whisk until combined.
- Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours. Chilling helps the cookies maintain their shape and develop a fudgier texture.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still look slightly gooey. Do not overbake.
- Immediately upon removing from the oven, sprinkle each cookie generously with flaky sea salt.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy the chewy chocolate bliss!
