Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookies:
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup unsalted butter (cubed)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips and butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Slowly mix in the melted chocolate mixture.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Add Optional Chocolate Chips: Fold in mini chocolate chips if using.
- Bake: Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until the tops are cracked and shiny.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
