Ingredients
Scale
- ⅔ cup (95g) all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoon (18g) cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 6 oz (170g) bittersweet chocolate (70% cocoa) coarsely chopped into chunks plus extra for topping
- ⅓ cup (75g) salted butter
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- heaped ¼ teaspoon fine salt
- flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare two large cookie sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder, then whisk them to combine well.
- Melt the chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl, either in the microwave in 30-second bursts or over low heat on the stove. Keep warm without cooling it down.
- In a large bowl, crack the eggs and gradually mix in the sugar using an electric mixer or whisk. Add the vanilla and salt, mixing until light and pale yellow—a minute if using a mixer, or whisk vigorously for 1-2 minutes by hand.
- Incorporate the melted chocolate mixture until fully combined. If the batter is too runny, let it sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken to a pudding-like consistency. Avoid letting it sit too long to prevent stiffening.
- Use a 1 ¼-oz cookie scoop to place batter onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring at least 3 inches of space between each cookie. Bake for 9-11 minutes until edges are set and centers remain gooey. After baking, allow them to chill on the tray for 5 minutes before topping with flaky sea salt.
Notes
For best results, ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature before mixing.
These cookies are best enjoyed warm, with a slightly gooey center.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
