Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth and well combined (about 1-2 minutes).
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the dough to an airtight container.
- Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for better results).
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Once chilled, remove the dough from the refrigerator. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Sprinkle a small pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The edges should be set, while the centers may look slightly underbaked.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store completely cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer in a freezer-safe container, separated by parchment paper, for up to 3 months.
- To enjoy frozen cookies, thaw at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.
Notes
- For an extra indulgent treat, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Pair with a glass of cold milk or coffee for a delightful afternoon snack.
- Consider sandwiching two cookies with frosting or whipped cream for a decadent dessert.
