Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Mixture

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 ounces semi sweet chocolate (about 1/2 cup)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the 1/4 cup unsalted butter together with 4 ounces semi sweet chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Mix Eggs, Sugar, and Vanilla: In a separate bowl, use a hand or stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment to beat the 2 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract on high speed for 3-5 minutes until the mixture becomes light, airy, and pale in color. This aeration is crucial for the crinkly tops of the cookies and cannot be achieved properly by hand mixing.
  4. Combine Chocolate Mixture: Add the cooled melted chocolate and butter mixture to the egg mixture. Fold or mix on low-medium speed until fully incorporated.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: Add 1 cup all purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, and 1/8 teaspoon baking soda. Mix gently on low speed or fold by hand until just combined. The batter will be loose and resemble a brownie batter more than cookie dough.
  6. Scoop the Dough: Using a mini ice cream scoop or small spoon, dollop the cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. The cookies should develop crinkles on top and have crisp edges while remaining fudgy inside. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Do not mix the eggs and sugar by hand; using a mixer to whip them is important for texture.
  • The dough will be loose, more like brownie batter; this is normal and results in fudgy cookies.
  • Leave space between cookies on the baking sheet as they spread during baking.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and aid clean-up.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 3 days.
