Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 4 large eggs
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Warm your oven to a precise 350F, ensuring the rack sits in the center position for even heat distribution.
- Gently melt 1 cup unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring carefully to prevent burning.
- Immediately remove the butter from heat and whisk in 2 cups granulated sugar until smooth.
- Crack 4 large eggs into the mixture, then stir 1 teaspoon vanilla extract throughout until completely incorporated.
- Sift 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt directly into the wet ingredients.
- Blend the dry and wet components thoroughly, creating a rich chocolate batter without overmixing.
- Fold 2 cups chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them evenly with gentle strokes.
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy release.
- Drop rounded tablespoon-sized portions of dough, spacing them 2 inches apart to prevent spreading.
- Bake at 350F for exactly 10-12 minutes, watching carefully to maintain a soft, fudgy center.
- Remove from the oven and let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Underbaking slightly creates a gooey center that makes these cookies extra delectable.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking helps prevent spreading and keeps a thick, fudgy texture.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate chips for a richer, more intense chocolate flavor that elevates the entire batch.
- For gluten-free options, swap regular flour with almond or coconut flour, which adds a nice nutty undertone to the cookies.
