Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted Make sure butter is melted but not hot for a chewy texture.
  • 2 cups sugar Brown sugar can be used for a deeper flavor.
  • 4 large eggs For an egg-free version, use flaxseed meal or chia seeds.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Use additional flour if the dough is too sticky.
  • 1 cup cocoa powder Can substitute dark chocolate.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix-ins
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (optional) Adds extra gooeyness and chocolate flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar until well combined.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until everything is well blended.
  6. If you're adding chocolate chips, fold them in now.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the centers feel slightly soft.
  2. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Serve cookies warm with vanilla ice cream, drizzle with melted chocolate or sprinkle with sea salt for extra flavor. Store in an airtight container for up to one week or freeze for three months.
