Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chunks
- Flaky sea salt, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth and shiny.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
- Use a cookie scoop to place mounds of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are set but centers are soft.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if using. Cool on pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Don’t overbake – cookies should look slightly underdone in the center.
- Use high-quality cocoa and chocolate for the richest flavor.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
