Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 7 ounces (200 grams) dark chocolate (60-70%), coarsely chopped
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 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
- Arrange oven rack to the middle position and heat to 180C (350F). Prepare two baking trays with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Reserve for later use.
- Melt chocolate and butter in microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
- Whip eggs and brown sugar using mixer until light, airy, and volume increases threefold, approximately 5 minutes.
- Incorporate melted chocolate and vanilla into egg mixture, blending thoroughly.
- Carefully fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until batter becomes uniform, noting the consistency will be quite liquid.
- Chill batter for 15 minutes to achieve a thicker texture resembling brownie consistency.
- Distribute batter onto prepared trays using a cookie scoop, ensuring even spacing for consistent crinkly tops.
- Bake single tray for 10-12 minutes, watching for shiny, cracked surfaces and slight dome formation.
- Allow cookies to rest on baking tray for 15-20 minutes, then transfer to wire rack for complete cooling. Cookies will gradually firm up during cooling process.
Notes
- Chill the batter for best texture, allowing it to thicken and develop richer chocolate flavor.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for deeper, more intense brownie-like taste and smoother consistency.
- Rotate baking trays halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and prevent potential hot spots in the oven.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain their soft, fudgy texture.
